Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The manuscript The Transition from Pemphigus Foliaceus to Pemphigus Vegetans – an Intriguing Phenomenon within the Spectrum of Autoimmune Blistering Diseases is interesting and touches on an important question. In general, I am inclined do recommend it for publication in “Dermato”.

 

I just have some minor comments and suggestions for the authors:

 

1.     Did the authors follow any guidelines for preparing this case report?

Title

2.     Please identify the report as a case report

Abstract

3.     Please add an abstract explaining why this case is interesting and how it can expand the existing knowledge on the topic. Provide some details on clinical manifestations, interventions and outcomes.

1.Introduction

4.     Clearly written and logically structured

Keywords

5.     It is recommended to use MeSH terms and alphabetic order. I also suggest that the authors shoud add “case report” as a keyword.

2.Case report

6.     A genetic component to the pathogenesis of pemphigus should be considered. Please provide relevant family and genetic information.

7.     Line 106: “the development of new lesions on the skin and on the oral mucosal.” Please describe in details the oral manifestations. I suggest that the authors shoud add some photos of the oral lesions this patient developed.

3.Subheading number 3 is missing (“2. Case report” is followed by “4. Discussion”)

4.Discussion

8.     Provides strengths and limitations of the approach used in this particular case and references for medical literature

Informed consent

9.     Did the patient give his informed consent to publish this case report? Please provide this information in the manuscript
