- Abstract
Nail involvement in people affected by pemphigus vulgaris has been associated with the severity of disease. Paronychia, onychomadesis, Beau's lines and nail hemorrhages, are frequently reported. In the young patient herein described the conspicuous nail changes developed during the convalescent period of disease, after a long-term administration of azathioprine and sulfone. Nail changes can be reversible and these drugs are safe and useful to the pemphigus control. Case reports might contribute to better knowledge about phenomena not well understood yet.
