Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune disease that is characterised by painful blisters and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes, most commonly inside the mouth. Pemphigus vulgaris accounts for 70% of all pemphigus cases worldwide although it is extremely rare in New Zealand (about one case per million of the population).
