Pemphigus, unspecified - what does this mean

Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the cells that make up the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and/or the lining of the mouth and throat (mucous membranes). this results in painful, fluid-filled blisters that can spread over large areas of the body.

What happens during the disease - pemphigus, unspecified

Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the production of antibodies against desmoglein proteins, which are necessary for the adhesion of cells in the epidermis. these antibodies cause the cells to detach from each other, resulting in blisters and erosions in the skin and mucous membranes. the exact cause of the disorder is unknown, but it is believed to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
