Clinical Information for Immunodermatology (Serum Testing)

Ordering Recommendation

Use as preferred serum antibody panel for initial assessment and disease monitoring in IgG-variant pemphigus. Testing should be clinically supported and/or correlated with concurrent Cutaneous Direct Immunofluorescence, Biopsy (0092572).

Pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus are the most common types of IgG-variant pemphigus with blistering and erosive disease affecting skin and mucous membranes.

Panel components include antibody testing for IgG epithelial cell surface and IgG desmoglein 1 and 3. To order individual component tests, refer to Epithelial Cell Surface Antibody IgG (0090266) or Epithelial Skin Antibody (0090299) and Desmoglein 1 and Desmoglein 3 Antibodies in Pemphigus, IgG (0090649).

To assess for pemphigus along with other immunobullous diseases, order concurrently with Basement Membrane Zone Antibody Panel (3001410). Also order with Pemphigus Antibody IgA (0092106).

Alternatively, order Immunobullous Disease Panel, Epithelial (3001409). Note that this test is included as part of the Immunobullous Disease Panel, Epithelial.
