ABSTRACT
The association of immunobullous disorders with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is rare. Concurrence of these two conditions poses a therapeutic challenge as both cause immune dysregulation. We report pemphigus vulgaris in association with HIV infection in a 50-year-old woman who died of sepsis after receiving high-dose corticosteroids for the treatment of pemphigus vulgaris.
