Abstract: An agent for treatment of pemphigoid is provided. 
     For use as an agent for treatment of pemphigoid,
IFN-γ is administered in a dose of 2,000,000 JRU once daily
for 7 days by intravenous drip infusion. Depending on
symptoms, side effects and age of a patient, the dose can
be change, or the dosage can changed to intravenous drip
infusion given once in several days. IFN-γ is fast-acting
against pemphigoid, involves few side effects, and is
considered to be effective. The mechanism of action is
presumed to be that IFN-γ suppresses the chemotaxis and
function of eosinophils which are considered to be directly
involved in the occurrence of pemphigoid.
