Triamcinolone acetonide for rare ocular manifestations of pemphigus vulgaris: A case report

Abstract

We present an interesting case of pemphigus vulgaris with severe and rare eye manifestations. An old lady with systemic and ocular manifestations of pemphigus vulgaris was treated with systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, with no effect. Subconjunctival injection of triamcinolone acetate reduced the ocular signs and led to gradual reduction of the systemic medications. © 2010 Kozeis et al.
