[Pemphigus vulgaris--an alternative for steroid treatment?].
Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune disease with a well-established immunological basis. Treatment is based on high dose and maintenance systemic corticosteroids. We report on a patient with a recurrence of full-blown pemphigus vulgaris after a trial of alternative hypnosis therapy to replace the corticosteroids.
