Of 23 patients with pemphigus seen between 1970 and 1977, 18 had foliaceus and five had vulgaris (ratio of 3.73:1). The characteristics of pemphigus foliaceus (age of onset, disease among sisters, presence of lesions resistant to corticotherapy) suggest Brazilian pemphigus foliaceus (fogo selvagem).
