Abstract

Pemphigoid gestationis is a rare subepidermal bullous dermatosis of pregnancy, caused by the interaction of IgG1 auto-antibodies with 180 kD BP Antigen 2. This disease can lead to preterm delivery, but the neonate is affected in only 10% cases. The treatment of choice in pemphigoid gestationis is systemic corticosteroids.
