An investigation of a possible cluster of pemphigus cases that were diagnosed in Hartford County, Connecticut, in 1977 provided data for estimating the incidence of this disease in a defined population for the years 1972 to 1977. The average annual incidence (new cases per population per year) estimated for the overall adult population (over the age of 20 years) was 0.42 cases per 100,000 people, whereas that for Jewish adults was 3.2 cases per 100,000. Thus, the results of this report both support the hypothesis that Jewish people are at higher risk than others for the development of pemphigus and provide a basis for comparison with the results of other studies of this disease.
1977年，针对康涅狄格州哈特福德县确诊的一组可能的天疱疮病例展开调查，获得了1972年至1977年特定人群中该疾病发病率的估算数据。对全体成年人口（20岁以上）估算的年平均发病率（每年每人口中的新病例数）为每10万人0.42例，而犹太成年人的年平均发病率为每10万人3.2例。因此，本报告的结果既支持了犹太人患天疱疮风险高于其他人的假设，也为与该疾病其他研究结果进行比较提供了依据。
