Successful treatment of oral pemphigus vulgaris using intralesional corticosteroids and levamisole immunomodulation: A case report

Abstract

Oral manifestations of dermatologic and immune-mediated disease are not so uncommon. These include the blistering diseases such as pemphigus, mucous membrane pemphigoid, and bullous pemphigoid. Out of these, pemphigus vulgaris occurs with a higher frequency than others. Management of oral pemphigus is a tedious task as the lesions take a long time to heal and new lesions crop up often. A case of pemphigus vulgaris in a 53-years-old female patient, successfully managed with intralesional steroids and immunomodulation using levamisole is being reported.
