A 13-year-old South African Indian boy who presented with oral mucosal lesions and skin blisters due to juvenile pemphigus vulgaris is described. Treatment with high-dose oral corticosteroids produced a prompt clinical response. Pemphigus vulgaris is rare in the young and this may lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate therapy.
