Abstract

Pemphigus Erythematosus also known as Senear-Usher Syndrome is an overlap syndrome with features of Lupus Erythematosus and Pemphigus folia ceus. We report a 20 year old female undergraduate that presented with symptoms of Nephr otic Syndrome and skin rashes which further investigations proved to be Pemphigus Erythematosus . Cutaneous auto-immune diseases though rarely reported are present and can be diagnosed if there’s a high index of suspicion.
