| Abstract: | The authors report a new case of induced pemphigus: a 64-year-old man has had rheumatoid arthritis for 10 years. When he developed his pemphigus, he had been taking D-penicillamine and piroxicam for about 8 months. He needed high doses of prednisolone associated with azathioprine to clear his eruption. The case had a fatal outcome. |
