To present a clinical case of pemphigus vegetans, a rare form of dermatosis.</p><p><bold>Materials and methods.</bold> A clinical and laboratory examination of a 32-year-old woman complaining of rash was carried out. The rash in the form of blisters, pustules, erosions and vegetating lesions was located mainly on the mucous membranes and skin folds. The list of performed examinations included a cytological study of a swab taken from the bottom of a lesion, a histological examination of skin biopsies from a lesion and an immunofluorescence study of biopsy specimens taken from an apparently non-affected skin area.</p><p><bold>Results.</bold> The clinical manifestations of the disease and the results of the conducted histological examinations corresponded to the diagnosis of pemphigus vegetans. The diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of acantholytic cells in the swab and IgG deposits in the intercellular spaces of the epidermis. Oral therapy with prednisone at a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight per day led to regression of the rash.</p><bold>Conclusion.</bold> In the investigated clinical case, the localization and nature of skin lesions were typical of pemphigus vegetans. The conducted histological and enzyme immunoassays confirmed the diagnosis, which allowed an adequate therapy to be selected. As a result, the patient demonstrated a pronounced clinical improvement. The described case is presented due to the rarity of this dermatosis.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Цель.</bold> Представление клинического случая редкого дерматоза — вегетирующей пузырчатки.</p><p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> Проведено клинико-лабораторное обследование женщины 32 лет, обратившейся с жалобами на высыпания, располагавшиеся преимущественно на слизистых оболочках и в складках кожи, в виде пузырей, пустул, эрозий и вегетаций. Выполнено цитологическое исследование мазка-отпечатка со дна эрозии, гистологическое исследование биоптатов кожи из очага поражения, иммунофлюоресцентное исследование биоптата, взятого из видимо непораженного участка кожи.</p><p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Клинические проявления заболевания и результаты гистологического исследования соответствовали диагнозу вегетирующей пузырчатки, что подтверждалось обнаружением акантолитических клеток в мазке-отпечатке и депозитов IgG в межклеточных промежутках эпидермиса. К регрессу высыпаний привела пероральная терапия преднизолоном в дозе 1 мг/кг массы тела в сутки.</p><p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Локализация и характер поражения кожи были типичными для вегетирующей пузырчатки. Проведенный комплекс гистологического и иммуноферментного исследований позволили подтвердить диагноз, а назначение адекватной терапии — добиться выраженного клинического улучшения. Описанный случай представлен в связи с редкостью данного дерматоза.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>bullous dermatoses</kwd><kwd>pemphigus vegetans</kwd><kwd>immunofluorescence</kwd><kwd>systemic glucocorticosteroids</kwd><kwd>prednisolone</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>буллезные дерматозы</kwd><kwd>вегетирующая пузырчатка</kwd><kwd>иммунофлюоресценция</kwd><kwd>системные глюкокортикостероиды</kwd><kwd>преднизолон</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>1.
