I agree: "I recommend doing a lot of reading."
I experienced two severe episodes of pemphigus vulgaris, each lasting several months, before discovering that I had a genetic predisposition and that certain medications may have triggered the condition.
Medication triggers: In some cases, pemphigus vulgaris can be induced by specific drugs. Commonly associated medications include blood-pressure drugs such as ACE inhibitors, chelating agents, and certain antibiotics such as Bactrim.
Bactrim or Septra belongs to sulfamethoxazole–trimethoprim (co-trimoxazole).
Genetic susceptibility: Certain genetic markers, including HLA-DR4 and HLA-DRw6, are associated with a significantly increased susceptibility to developing the condition.
