Resumo
Este estudo tem como tema central a história da doença pênfigo foliáceo endêmico e do Hospital do Pênfigo de Uberaba (MG), fundado no ano de 1957 e ainda em atividade. O hospital recebe pacientes portadores desta doença, popularmente conhecida como fogo selvagem, provenientes de diversas regiões do Brasil. Considerada como uma das únicas doenças autoimunes com características endêmicas, classifica-se cientificamente como sendo uma dermatose bolhosa, comumente presente em regiões geográficas de climas tropicais, cuja etiologia, a despeito do empenho em pesquisas científicas, ainda permanece desconhecida. No Brasil, seu tratamento vem sendo realizado desde o final da década de 1960, com medicamentos à base de corticosteróides, potente anti-inflamatório descoberto no final da década de 1950. O Hospital do Pênfigo, em Uberaba, é a única instituição remanescente que se dedica de modo específico, com exclusividade, ao tratamento do pênfigo foliáceo endêmico. Instituição considerada pelo Estado como de utilidade pública, o hospital é administrado e parcialmente mantido por integrantes do segmento cultural espírita e oferece, além da terapêutica tradicional, também outras, integrativas, tais como o passe magnético, a desobsessão e a fluidificação da água. Ao registrar a história deste hospital, esta pesquisa traz também subsídios para a compreensão da evolução da doença e de seu tratamento, no Brasil. Destacamos a história da fundadora Aparecida Conceição Ferreira, da peculiar maneira por ela desenvolvida de tratar a doença e da sua amizade com o médium Francisco Cândido Xavier, desde os começos da construção e edificação do hospital, cujas raízes se fundam nos preceitos morais e na filosofia da história que sustentam a teoria doutrinária espírita do francês Allan Kardec.

The theme of this study is the history of Endemic Pemphigus Foliaceus disease, as well as of the Pemphigus Hospital of Uberaba – (MG), founded in 1957 and still active. The hospital receives patients with endemic pemphigus foliaceus disease, popularly known as “fogo selvagem”, from several regions of Brazil. Regarded as one of the few autoimmune diseases with endemic features, it is scientifically classified as a bullous dermatosis, usually found in geographical regions of tropical climates, which etiology, despite all efforts in scientific researches, still remains unknown. In Brazil, its treatment has been performed since the late 1960s, with medicines based on corticosteroids, potent anti-inflammatory discovered in the late 1950s. The Pemphigus Hospital, in Uberaba, is the only remaining institution which is engaged in a specific way, exclusively to the treatment of the endemic pemphigus foliaceus disease. The institution is considered by the state as of public utility and the hospital is run and partially maintained by members of the Spiritist cultural movement. Besides the traditional therapy, the treatment offers integrative ones, such as the magnetic healing, the disobsession and the magnetization of the water. Registering the history of this Hospital this research brings subsidies concerning the evolution comprehension of the disease and its treatment in Brazil. We highlighted the history of its founder – Aparecida Conceição Ferreira and her peculiar manner of treating the disease, moreover her friendship with the medium Francisco Cândido Xavier, since the beginnings of construction and Hospital edification, whose roots are founded on moral principles of the Spiritist Doctrine philosophy of the French Allan Kardec. The history writing on this dissertation emphasizes the theoretical contribution of Michel de Certeau and the concept of historical symmetries of Hermínio Miranda as a metho
