  • Title: Mycophenolate mofetil for the management of autoimmune bullous diseases.
    Author: Eskin-Schwartz M, David M, Mimouni D.
    Journal: Immunol Allergy Clin North Am; 2012 May; 32(2):309-15, vii. PubMed ID: 22560143.
    Abstract:
    Immunosuppressive agents such as azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) are now widely used in the treatment of autoimmune bullous diseases. This article reviews the use of MMF for the treatment of several bullous conditions, and assesses the evidence gathered from clinical trials and case series. According to numerous case series, MMF could be of value in treating refractory disease. The few randomized clinical trials conducted to date of patients with pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid report a similar efficacy for MMF to other immunosuppressants.
