Summary

The article describes a case of pemphigus vulgaris: a serious illness with poor long-term prognosis. The patient suffered from stomatitis which was both severe and recurrent and from large skin boils. The disease was poorly controlled by corticosteroids. On the basis of the pathological essence and the patient's mental state, Mercurius solubilis was prescribed. The disease has progressively gone and the patient is completely symptom-free during three years of follow-up.
