A case of induced pemphigus occurring in a patient affected with a brucellosis is reported with emphasis on the definitive remission of the pemphigus after antibiotic therapy against brucellosis and in the absence of corticosteroid treatment. Attention is also drawn to a possible autoimmune mechanism of the pemphigus triggered by brucellosis.
