Sir, Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a subset of pemphigus in patients with neoplasia, in which clinical and histological features of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are variably associated with features of erythema multiforme, bullous pemphigoid and lichen planus. PNP autoantibodies are directed against an antigen complex mainly composed of proteins of the plakin family: these are major components of desmosomal and hemidesmosomal plaques. We first described the presence of antidesmoglein 3 (Dsg3) antibodies in PNP sera by immunoblotting. It has recently been demonstrated that pathogenic anti-Dsg3 autoantibodies can be consistently detected in PNP sera by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Curiously, whereas antidesmoglein 1 (Dsg1) antibodies have been recovered in more than 50% of PNP sera using ELISA, such autoantibodies have never been detected in PNP sera using immunoblotting or immunoprecipitation assays. We describe a PNP patient with an atypical clinical presentation in whom circulating anti-Dsg1 antibodies were detected by immunoblotting. A 70-year-old man with a history of chronic lymphoid leukaemia and prostate carcinoma presented with a generalized lichenoid eruption. Cutaneous lesions evolved to an exfoliative erythroderma (Fig. 1a) associated with atypical target-like lesions on the lower limbs. The patient had mucosal erosions and extensive cutaneous blisters with a positive Nikolsky sign. He died of infection despite parenteral antibiotics and corticoid therapy. Histological examination of a cutaneous blister showed basilar and suprabasilar cleavage with vacuolar changes and keratinocyte necrosis. Direct and indirect immunofluorescence (IF) showed antiepidermal cell surface antibodies without antibasement membrane zone antibodies. The patient's serum stained rat bladder epithelium on indirect IF. Immunoblot analysis showed IgG antibodies directed against bands of 250-, 210-(doublet) and 190-kDa molecular weight, corresponding to desmoplakin I, envoplakin and desmoplakin II, and periplakin, respectively. Additionally, the patient's serum contained IgG antibodies that recognized a 160-kDa band comigrating with the band recognized by a murine anti-Dsg1 monoclonal antibody (Clone DG3.10, Progen, Heidelberg, Germany) (Fig. 1b). It is surprising that, to date, anti-Dsg1 antibodies have never been detected in PNP sera by immunoblotting or immunoprecipitation, whereas they have recently been reported in 50% of PNP sera by an ELISA assay using baculovirus-expressed recombinant Dsg1. One possible explanation is that PNP sera, like pemphigus foliaceus (PF) sera, may recognize a conformational epitope on Dsg1 which is denatured during the immunoblotting extraction procedure. The pathogenic effect of PNP anti-Dsg1 antibodies
