Complications
Possible complications of pemphigus include:

- Infection that spreads to your bloodstream (sepsis)
- Malnutrition, because painful mouth sores make it difficult to eat
- Medication side effects, such as high blood pressure and infection
- Death, if certain types of pemphigus are left untreated
