Nineteen-year retrospective evaluation of pemphigus in a single dermatology centre in Istanbul, Turkey.
Conclusions: Within our study population, pemphigus predominately affected females, and the most common clinical variant was PV, a subtype that frequently occurs in middle-aged individuals. MCP was the most common clinical pattern. Although MCP and higher doses of corticosteroids were needed to control pemphigus, they did not seem to influence the prognosis.
