  • Title: Desquamative gingivitis: immunologic findings.
    Author: Nisengard RJ, Alpert AM, Krestow V.
    Journal: J Periodontol; 1978 Jan; 49(1):27-32. PubMed ID: 340635.
    Abstract:
    A case of desquamative gingivitis is presented that was a gingival manifestation of cicatricial pemphigoid. Immunologic studies of serum and biopsies were of diagnostic significance. The application of immunofluorescence for the diagnosis of desquamative gingival lesions was discussed. If a definite diagnosis can not be made on the basis of light microscopy, immunofluorescence studies should be performed.
