Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune vesiculobullous diseases of skin and mucous membrane. Histologically characterised by intraepidermal bulla and immunologically by circulating IgG autoantibodies targeted against keratinocytes. We are presenting 32 cases of pemphigus and its variants. The histopathologic and direct immunofluorescence (DIF) findings are described.
