Abstract
An attempt to treat a patient with pemphigus vulgaris by large volume plasma exchange with intravenous application of high doses of immunoglobulin at the end of each exchange procedure is reported. The therapeutic results--temporary clinical improvement parallel to a significant reduction in the level of circulating antiepithelial autoantibodies--are discussed in comparison with published case reports on plasma exchange in pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid.Entities:
