Pemphigoid gestationis is a rare autoimmune
blistering disease specific to pregnancy. It is characterized by pruritic,
urticarial plaques with development of tense vesicles and bullae within the
lesions. Recurrence with subsequent pregnancies are often more severe and may
be associated with miscarriages, prematurity, low birth weight and rarely fetal
death.
We report this case of pemphigoid gestationis
in view of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for prevention of fetal risk. Gestational (pemphigoid gestationis, PG) is an
uncommon immune system skin issue that happens amid pregnancy.
It is an uncommon sickness with an occurrence
of 1 in 50,000 pregnancies. PG ordinarily shows amid the second or third
trimester with repeat in consequent pregnancies. It can be analyzed by
histopathology and direct immunofluorescence which is corroborative. Systemic
steroids are the backbone of treatment.
