It is an autoimmune disease so it is NOT contagious.
Start learning about it here:

Also check Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic web sites.
Good luck to your brother, he has a hard road ahead.

This is correct, it is an autoimmune disease and is not contagious. We have information on pemphigus here: http://www.empowher.com/condition/pemphigus/treatments.
Pemphigus can be a very difficult thing to have, and painful. The drugs used to treat the more severe cases are chemo drugs. Your brother in law is going to need a lot of support and compassion.
If we can help further, please let us know. Thank you for writing.
