Direct immunofluorescent studies of skin biopsies from 16 pemphigus vulgaris patients revealed immunoglobulin deposits in 12 (75%) cases with fluorescence at intercellular areas in epidermis. In 2 patients (12.5%) dermoepidermal junction also showed immunoglobulin deposits. IgG was the commonest type of immunoglobulin demonstrated in 12 out of 16 (75%) cases followed by IgM in 5 (31.25%) and IgA in 1 (6.25%) cases. Seven (43.75%) cases showed presence of IgG alone while IgM with IgG was found in 4 (25%) cases. One (6.25%) case showed deposition of IgG, IgM and IgA. The results indicated that demonstration of immunoglobulin in skin biopsies by direct immunofluorescent technique is quite a useful adjunct in diagnostic confirmation of pemphigus.
对16例寻常型天疱疮患者的皮肤活检组织进行直接免疫荧光研究发现,12例(75%)在表皮细胞间区域有荧光显示免疫球蛋白沉积。2例(12.5%)患者的真皮表皮交界处也显示有免疫球蛋白沉积。IgG是最常见的免疫球蛋白类型,16例中有12例(75%)显示为IgG,其次是5例(31.25%)为IgM,1例(6.25%)为IgA。7例(43.75%)仅显示有IgG,4例(25%)发现IgM与IgG同时存在。1例(6.25%)显示有IgG、IgM和IgA沉积。结果表明,通过直接免疫荧光技术在皮肤活检组织中显示免疫球蛋白,在寻常型天疱疮的诊断确认中是一项非常有用的辅助手段。
