Pemphigus is a life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease. Systemic corticosteroids have been the mainstay and first-line treatment with success. However, long-term use of corticosteroids results in significant morbidities and mortalities. Much effort has been focused on searching alternative or corticosteroids-sparing agents.
