ABSTRACT
Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by circulating autoantibodies directed against the keratinocyte cell surface. Majority of patients with pemphigus develop the disease spontaneously. However, there is a small group of patients who develop pemphigus after treatment with certain medications, of which Dpenicillamine (DPA) and captopril are the best documented. We report a case of DPA-induced pemphigus vulgaris in a young Chinese lady treated with DPA for Wilson disease.
