It is characterized histopathologically by intraepidermal spongiform pustules with a neutrophilic infiltrate in the dermis. APF is a rare condition that has been reported in association with various immunological abnormalities or autoimmune diseases. We describe here a 37-year-old woman with APF associated with Sj gren’s syndrome.
