Some Electron-Microscopic Aspects of Pemphigus erythematosus compared to those of Pemphigus vulgaris

Abstract

1. The degree of disappearance of the desmosomes in established pemphigus erythematosus blister resembles that in an early blister in pemphigus vulgaris. One might consider pemphigus erythematosus as a pemphigus vulgaris which has remained in its initial phase. 2. The degree of disappearance of desmosomes in pemphigus erythematosus appears to be less than in pemphigus foliaceus.
