Pemphigus Vulgaris Treatment Market

Pemphigus Vulgaris Treatment Market: Introduction

• Pemphigus Vulgaris is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by painful blisters on the skin, lining of the mouth, throat, nose, and genitals. It usually affects the middle-aged population including both men and women. Pemphigus Vulgaris occurs when the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks proteins in the layer of the skin. The symptoms of pemphigus vulgaris include development of painful blisters and pinching sensation on the skin. The blisters usually develop in the mouth first, which subsequently rupture to form painful sores. This continues until entire the lining of mouth is affected, causing difficulty in swallowing. Blisters also form on the skin and rupture, creating painful wounds. Blisters once ruptured become infected; the damaged skin oozes fluid and become prone to infections. The diagnosis test for pemphigus vulgaris include histopathology, direct immunofluorescence, and indirect immunofluorescence. There is no permanent cure for pemphigus vulgaris, only symptomatic relief can be provided.
