“…Ordinary cases of FBCP are often observed, but only a few generalized cases of this disease have ever been reported (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). We observed a case of generalized FBCP with lesions over most of his body, whose condition was induced by an infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.…”

We report a case of generalized familial benign chronic pemphigus (FBCP) whose generalized condition was induced by an infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A 34‐year‐old male suffered erythemato‐macerative lesions over most of his body. Upon microbiological examination, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cultured from the pus of the lesions. Histologically, a specimen from the abdominal lesion revealed typical features of familial benign chronic pemphigus. It is well known that FBCP is exacerbated by topical infection. We supposed that, in this case, the infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa was induced by inappropriate therapy with cortiosteroid. Topical application of silversulfadiazin cream was effective in improving the generalized lesions of this condition.

“…Among the atypical variants of FBCP, is the genital verrucoid variety, first described in 1951 by Haber and Forman [2]. Only four sporadic cases were reported in the literature [3][4][5][6] until 1992, when Langenberg and colleagues described six more cases presenting as genital condylomas [7]. We present a case of genital verrucoid variant of Hailey-Hailey disease that was initially mistaken for condyloma accuminata.…”

Among the atypical variants of Fatnilial betiign chrotiic pemphigus (FBCP) is the genital verrucoid variety. This condition is often misdiagnosed as condyloma accuminata. We present a case of a genital verrucoid variant of Hailey-Hailey disease that was initially mistaken for condyloma accuminata. Multiple asymptomatic white bands in more than one fingernail were the first due in diagnosing the condition, which was confirmed histopathologically. This nail marker may antedate any other cutaneous manifestation of FBCP. Nail examination for longitudinal leukonychia of fingernails might be of help in diagnosing atypical cases of Hailey-Hailey disease. ' Corresponding author. Tel. 966-1-477-4480/966-1-465-9«96.

“…[6] HHD typically involves the axillary, genitocrural, and inframammary folds. [7] This is attributed to minor trauma in the form of maceration, heat, and friction. Lesions are usually symmetrical.…”
