ABSTRACT
We report three adolescents with pemphigus vulgaris whose disease started at the age of 13, 15 and 14 years, respectively. The course of the disease and the treatment approaches were reviewed. Pemphigus vulgaris during childhood and adolescence is a very rare disease in this part of Europe. Among 410 pemphigus vulgaris patients that we treated during the 20-year period, only three patients (0.73%) were under the age of 18 years. According to our experience, the course of pemphigus vulgaris in patients before the age of 18 years is comparable with the course of pemphigus vulgaris in adults.
