HPV type 11 is a mucosal type of virus and infects the genital tract or larynx. Disseminated HPV-11 infection involving multiple body sites in cases of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) has not been reported. We report here an unusual case of severe pemphigus vulgaris associated with disseminated HPV-11 infection on the arms, hands, axillae, chest, abdomen, and both thighs from the genital area, confirmed by the same DNA sequence.[SDGs]SDG3azathioprine; cimetidine; cyclophosphamide; dexamethasone; immunoglobulin; podophyllotoxin; prednisolone; trichloroacetic acid; virus DNA; abdomen; adult; arm; article; axilla; body regions; case report; cauterization; disease association; disease severity; DNA determination; DNA sequence; drug effect; drug response; genital system; hand; human; immunofluorescence; male; patient; pemphigus vulgaris; physical examination; priority journal; sepsis; skin biopsy; thigh; thorax; virus infection; Wart virus; genetics; immune deficiency; immunology; isolation and purification; Papilloma virus; pemphigus; polymerase chain reaction; virus infection; Adult; DNA, Viral; Humans; Immunocompromised Host; Male; Papillomaviridae; Papillomavirus Infections; Pemphigus; Polymerase Chain Reactionjournal article10.1016/j.jaad.2004.04.037155777672-s2.0-16644394870
