It was presented a clinical case of a 16-year-old female patient with a pemphigus vulgaris diagnosis at the General Teaching Hospital “Dr. Agostinho Neto”, Guantanamo, July-October 2017. Child-youth pemphigus vulgaris is not very frequent in our country (0.1-0.5%); however, it is the most common and serious form of pemphigus. It occurs most frequently in the fourth and sixth decade of life, being rare in children. It has no sex or race predilection, it is associated with immune disorders. It is characterized by the appearance of relatively tight blisters, on skin and mucosa membranes, which later break and form erosions of macerated surfaces, covered with whitish material and very painful, making patients weak, and along with the loss of electrolytes through skin lesions, can lead to death.
