Correlation of antibodies against desmogleins 1 and 3 with indirect immunofluorescence and disease status in a Greek population with pemphigus vulgaris

Abstract

Background  The use of ELISA testing of antibodies to desmogleins 1 and 3 (anti-Dsg1 and anti-Dsg3) and indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) has been strongly supported for the serologic diagnosis of pemphigus. The purpose of this study was to correlate anti-Dsg1 and anti-Dsg3 with IIF values, disease localization, treatment and clinical course in Greek patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV).


Methods  A total of 54 patients with PV had ELISA serum testing for the presence and titers of anti-Dsg1, anti-Dsg3 and IIF. Anti-Dsg1, anti-Dsg3 and IIF were correlated with treatment and disease localization. For ...
