Abstract
We report a neonate with immunofluorescence-proven pemphigus vulgaris. The condition presented at birth with widespread skin erosions and ul ceration of the oral mucosa. Histopathological and immunofluorescence studies confirmed pemphigus vulgaris. The mother had mild oral pemphig us vulgaris treated during pregnancy with topical corticosteroids, All the neonate's skin erosions had crust formation at day 2 but healed c ompletely within 2 weeks.
