Forty\u2010seven of 52 initially evaluated patients with newly diagnosed pemphigus vulgaris or pemphigus foliaceous that had not previously been treated with systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs were randomly assigned to treatment with either methylprednisolone (prednisone equivalent, 1\u2003mg\/kg) or methylprednisolone plus mycophenolate mofetil (3\u2003g\/day, 1.5\u2003g twice daily). Patients were followed up for clinical outcome based on time required until the achievement of control of disease activity, induction of partial and complete remissions on or off minimal therapy, total amount of corticosteroids administered, frequency of relapses and development of side\u2010effects and complications.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    The two groups were similar in terms of demographics and baseline disease characteristics.
