Title: Clinical variants of dermatitis herpetiformis and pemphigus and their significance for diagnosis and therapy
Abstract: In recent years, patients with chronic vesiculobullous skin diseases have become more frequent, the predominant part of whom are patients with dermatitis herpetiformis and pemphigus. Each of these skin diseases has a fairly typical symptom complex, which is the basis for diagnosis. However, there are often patients who, at certain periods of the development of the process, have a picture similar to other skin diseases. This creates significant difficulties in recognizing them. Further, in patients with herpetiform dermatitis, a pemphigoid variety is sometimes observed, which is diagnosed as a true pemphigus, and in patients with pemphigus, a herpetiform type, which is mistaken for Duhring's herpetiformis dermatitis. Patients with herpetiform variant of pemphigus later develop a typical picture of true pemphigus. In this regard, some authors began to believe that dermatitis herpetiformis turns into pemphigus vulgaris.
