Keywords:

Fogo selvagem is an endemic form of pemphigus foliaceus with its own demographic characteristics. It presents in children and teenagers and it is characterized by subcorneal blisters due to auto-antibodies against desmoglein 1. We
report two patients from the Colombian Amazon region with this diagnosis.
