Pemphigus and Pregnancy: A Case Report

Abstract

Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by blister formation on the skin and mucous membranes, with pemphigus vulgaris being the most common and severe form. This case report discusses a 32-year-old pregnant woman diagnosed with pemphigus gestationis at 32 weeks of gestation,managed with moderate-dose corticosteroids. The pregnancy continued without complications, resulting in a healthy baby delivered via cesarean section.Postpartum management included close dermatological follow-up. Gestational pemphigus, triggered by pregnancy-specific hormonal changes, requires careful treatment to balance maternal health and fetal safety, with postpartum monitoring essential to prevent relapses.
