British Journal of Dermatology, 06/25/09
Ahmed AR et al. - Analysis of the data suggests that MTX may be useful and effective in patients with pemphigus vulgaris, who are corticosteroid dependent or who develop significant complications in relation to corticosteroids. MTX is likely to be more beneficial in patients with pemphigoid, particularly in bullous pemphigoid, than in patients with pemphigus. Given the limitations of the available data, it appears that when there is a need for adjuvant therapy, MTX may be considered early in the management of moderate to moderately severe disease.
