While DCH explains many classical patterns, increasing exceptions have challenged its universality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to correlate clinical phenotype and histopathological split level with anti\u2010Dsg1 and anti\u2010Dsg3 antibody profiles in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF), and evaluate consistency with DCH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this bicentric retrospective study, 106 patients with confirmed pemphigus (93 PV, 13 PF) were included. Clinical classification was based on presentation (cutaneous, mucosal, mucocutaneous). Histopathology was reviewed for split level (subcorneal, suprabasal, dual), and serum Dsg1\/Dsg3 IgG levels were recorded. Concordance with DCH was assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In PF, splits were subcorneal in 6 (46.2%), suprabasal in 3 (23.1%), and both in 4 (30.7%). Eight (61.5%) had isolated anti\u2010Dsg1 IgG, consistent with DCH. In PV, 75 (80.6%) had suprabasal splits, 7 (7.5%) dual splits, and 4 (4.3%) subcorneal splits. Among 16 mucosal PV cases, only 6 (37.5%) had isolated anti\u2010Dsg3 IgG. Highest fidelity to DCH was seen in mucocutaneous PV (56\/75; 74.7%) with dual anti\u2010Dsg1 and Dsg3 positivity. Two patients with cutaneous\u2010only PV showed dual positivity with suprabasal splits.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While DCH explains many classic presentations, nearly one\u2010third of patients in our cohort exhibited discordant clinical, serologic, or histologic features. These findings highlight the need for more comprehensive models of pemphigus pathogenesis that incorporate antibody titers, affinity, subclass, and non\u2010desmoglein targets.<\/jats:p>\n
