Summary : We describe a case of contact pemphigus, a new subgroup of induced pemphigus. The disease is provoked by a chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticide: dihydrodiphenyltrichlorethane. We suspect that systemic absorption after the topical contact is responsible for the alteration of skin structure and activation of immunological mechanisms leading to blister formation and acantholysis. |
