Correlation of antibodies against desmogleins 1 and 3 with indirect immunofluorescence and disease activity in 72 patients with pemphigus vulgaris

This study supports the previous observations that the disease severity in most patients with pemphigus correlates with IIF titers, which in turn is determined by the quantities of Dsg1 and Dsg3 antibodies, as well as the previous observation that the clinical phenotype and antibody profile are n ot always in correlation.
