Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune disorder in which painful blisters are formed on the mucus membrane and skin. The disorder is rare and affects mouth, nose, throat, lungs, eyes, and sometimes genitals. The disorder is caused when the body produces antibodies against self-cells, although the exact cause and mechanism is unknown. Formation of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against self desmosomal adhesion proteins, present on epidermal keratinocytes, results in blister formation. Its diagnosis involves biopsy (tissue sampling), blood tests for pemphigus specific antibodies, and endoscopy. The treatment involves administration of immunosuppressant drugs and corticosteroids. Pemphigus Vulgaris Treatment Market Drivers New drug approvals is expected to drive the global pemphigus vulgaris treatment market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Rituximab for the treatment of pe...
