Herpes gestationis: A clinical observation
A clinical case with herpes gestationis is presented. Herpes gestationis is a rare autoimmune disease emerging in pregnancy and the postpartum period. Despite its name, herpes gestationis is not associated with herpes virus. The similarity of the histological picture of this dermatosis and bullous pemphigoid prompted some authors call it “pemphigoid gestationis”. According to different sources, the incidence ofpemphigoid gestationis varies from 1:10 000 to 1:50 000 pregnancies. It manifests during the second or third trimester (month 5-6). The nonspecific clinical picture and rarity of the disease make its diagnosis particularly difficult and require special attention of dermatologists and obstetricians and gynecologists.
