Childhood-onset ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid presenting with peripheral ulcerative keratitis: a case report and review of the literature
Pediatric mucous membrane pemphigoid with ocular involvement is a rare condition of which few reports have been published, resulting in scarce information regarding its clinical course and response to treatment. We report the first case observed in a Hispanic patient, opening with peripheral ulcerative keratitis, and responding successfully to methotrexate.
