OCULAR PEMPHIGUS.

(1) The literature on ocular pemphigus is reviewed, and the main features of the disease found by other authors are discussed. (2) 7 cases of ocular pemphigus are reported and the diagnostic features of their lesions on the mucosae and skin are described. (3) Evidence from these cases and the literature is presented to uphold the conception that ocular pemphigus is a disease entity separate from all the other members of the pemphigus group and that it never ends by transition to pemphigus vulgaris.
