Endemic pemphigus foliaceus or fogo selvagem (FS) is a blistering autoimmune disease indigenous to certain states of Brazil. In the state of Parana the disease has been reported in the north-central regions where a total of 632 cases were documented in the period of 1940-80. The present study describes a new focus of FS in the western region of the state of Parana. This focus includes a total of 213 new cases of FS and only 11 cases of pemphigus vulgaris seen in this region from February 1976 to July 1988. Over 90% of these patients were peasants working in agriculture or involved in other outdoor activities.
地方性落叶型天疱疮或丛林火疱病(FS)是一种巴西某些州特有的水疱性自身免疫性疾病。在巴拉那州,该病已在中北部地区有报道,1940年至1980年期间共记录了632例病例。本研究描述了巴拉那州西部地区一个新的FS发病点。该发病点包括1976年2月至1988年7月期间在该地区发现的总共213例新的FS病例,以及仅11例寻常型天疱疮病例。这些患者中超过90%是从事农业或其他户外活动的农民。
