A case of fatal pemphigus vulgaris in association with beta interferon and interleukin-2 therapy.

W L Ramseur1, F Richards, D B Duggan.   

Abstract

Beta interferon (beta-IFN) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) have been utilized in experimental cancer therapy because of their effects on the immune system. We report here a patient treated with IL-2 and beta-IFN who rapidly developed an immune-mediated, bullous exfoliative dermatitis and who ultimately died. Various etiologic mechanisms are proposed.
