  • Title: Pemphigus-like eruption induced by d-penicillamine and captopril, in the same patient.
    Author: Blanken R, Doeglas HM, de Jong MC, Kardaun SH, van Leeuwen M.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1988; 68(5):456-7. PubMed ID: 2461036.
    Abstract:
    A patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and hypertension is described who developed pemphigus foliaceus during simultaneous treatment with d-penicillamine and captopril. Discontinuation of the d-penicillamine afforded some improvement, but skin symptoms still persisted after 3 months. When the captopril was discontinued as well, all lesions healed within 2 weeks. Our findings suggest that both these chemically related drugs might have been responsible for the pemphigus-like eruption in this patient.
