Rare disease leaves burn-like injuries

Lester Crow has the look of a man who stay alive a fire as he sits in an easy chair in his daughter's living room his left leg, swathe in gauze and what looks like netting, is well-known the skin on his cheeks and eyelids is slightly too pink, like newborn glossy skin and his arms and the piece of his chest you can see above the V-neck of his loose-fitting cotton shirt are dotted with swirls of purplish-pink and white.

Crow, 58, spent many weeks in a burn unit this summer in Arkansas earlier than relocate to Utah so that his developed daughter Tina Crow Puckett and her son Stone, 14, can think about for him.

But no fire seared the man rather, he is the injured of an attack by his own immune system, due to an extremely rare situation called pemphigus vulgarus, which frequently starts as blisters in the mouth but can, as it has in Crow's case, cover greatly of the body.
