Schizophrenia was found to be associated with a wide range of autoimmune diseases. However, the association between pemphigus and schizophrenia has not been established yet. We aimed to estimate the association between pemphigus and schizophrenia using a large-scale real-life computerised database.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S204579601700052X_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods.<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study was conducted as a cross-sectional study utilising the database of Clalit Health Services.
