Platelet‐rich plasma for resistant oral erosions of pemphigus vulgaris: A pilot study

Abstract: Oral erosions and ulcers of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are a debilitating condition that is usually difficult to treat. The wound healing properties of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) encouraged us to evaluate its usefulness in treatment of non-healing oral PV lesions. Seven patients with chronic oral PV, resistant to conventional therapy, were treated with weekly to monthly injections of PRP of affected mucosal membranes. All recruits reported improvement in pain and mastication and 6 of 7 patients had an improvement… Show more

“…PRP, which is concentrated plasma derived from autologous whole blood, is believed to promote wound healing (60). In a case report series, El-Komy et al reported that six of seven PV patients showed improvement of their oral PDAI scores after PRP intralesional injection (61). To evaluate the effects of PRP in PV, an open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter phase 1 trial using autologous PRP has been conducted in adults with active PV ( NCT02828163 ).…”

“…It manifests in oral cavity as painful erosive lesions (ulcers) that are usually treated with corticosteroids (116). In such cases, the repeated injections of PRP accelerate tissue healing and reduce pain and discomfort during mastication (106). Oral ulcers can also occur after bone marrow allogeneic transplants resulting in graft vs. host disease (GvHD).…”
