“…A few cases have been reported in the literature. Earlier cases were confirmed by histology and immunoblotting [1,2,3,4,5,6] while the transition in more recent cases has been demonstrated by a change in desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and 3 autoantibody profile by Dsg ELISA testing [6,7,8,9,10,11]. We report 3 cases that showed transition from PV to PF confirmed by Dsg ELISA.…”

“…In the literature, there are at least 16 reported cases of transition of PV to PF [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11] including one that reverted to PV again [7] (table 1). In contrast, there are only 3 reported cases of transition from PF to PV [1, 6, 7] and 3 cases of PV-PF overlap [4, 6].…”

“…However, this does not negate the fact that the WB method reveals the majority of pemphigus antigen determinants. Indeed, a couple of studies 31,32 have found a good correlation between IIF titres and immunoblotting reactivity.…”

“…Immunoblotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) have been used to demonstate the autoantibodies in pemphigus 1-10. Unlike ELISA, immunoblotting does not yield a quantitative result, and it may produce false negative results 10.…”
