Intravenous dexamethasone‐cyclophosphamide pulse therapy in comparison with oral methylprednisolone‐azathioprine therapy in patients with pemphigus: Results of a multicenter prospectively randomized study

Abstract

Because of the high number of progressions in patients treated with D/C therapy, we can not confirm the encouraging results of earlier reports about pulse D/C therapy. Nevertheless D/C therapy seemed to be better tolerated and, in case of primary efficacy, was associated with fewer recurrences than M/A therapy.
