A comprehensive, population level evaluation of previously reported drug triggers of pemphigus highlights immunomodulatory capacity as a common characteristic by Justin Baroukhian, Kristina Seiffert-Sinha, Animesh A. Sinha

“…The significant associations reported here provide empirical support for the hypothesis that certain drugs act as triggers for PV. Moreover, all of the drugs found to be associated with PV in this study harbor immunomodulatory capacity, suggesting that the ability to induce such perturbations, directly or indirectly, may be a critical factor connecting drug exposure to pemphigus pathogenesis. …”
