How can pemphigus vulgaris be managed?

Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune, vesiculobullous disorder, which is usually a lifelong disorder. Steroids are the mainstay of treatment. There are various regimens for giving it. With pulse therapy, long term remission can be achieved in a significant number of cases. Other immunosuppressive, steroid sparing drugs are also required in most cases. Antibiotics are required for superimposed bacterial infections. Nursing care should be good.
