title: [Pemphigus herpetiformis].
abstract: Clinically, pemphigus herpetiformis closely resembles dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring. Histologically, however, it is characterized by acantholysis and eosinophilic spongiosis. Immunohistology revealing IgG bound in the intercellular space of the epidermis enables the correct diagnosis.
