Abstract

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an organ-specific autoimmune bullous disease which is characterized by loss of cell adhesion (acantholysis) and blister formation [1,2]. This disease is proven to be an autoimmune phenomenon [1-3]. Considering this etiology, immunosuppressive drugs are the main treatments available for this disorder. Infections are important complications in these patients which are attributed to disruption of the epidermal barrier (a part of innate immunity) due to the disease itself and immunosuppression induced by treatment [4,5].
