Pemphigus Vulgaris – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Pemphigus Vulgaris, an autoimmune blistering disease primarily affecting the skin and mucous membranes, is characterized by circulating autoantibodies directed against keratinocyte cell surfaces. The root cause of Pemphigus Vulgaris lies in these autoantibodies, which specifically target keratinocyte proteins known as desmogleins. This attack leads to an adhesion breakdown between keratinocytes, a phenomenon called acantholysis. This destructive process is initiated by binding circulating immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies to intercellular adhesion molecules. Pemphigus Vulgaris can manifest at any age, though it is most commonly diagnosed in individuals aged 45 to 65. In a typical presentation of Pemphigus Vulgaris, approximately 80% of cases start with lesions on the oral mucosa, often resulting in blister formation that can rupture and cause painful erosions. Cutaneous lesions occur in about 75% of patients, typically following the development of oral blisters. The disease ca...
