Impétigo herpetiforme durante la gestación con empeoramiento posparto

Impetigo herpetiformis is a rare disease associated with pregnancy, mainly during the third trimester. Without adequate treatment or close maternal-obstetric monitoring, this disease carries high mortality. In most cases, the disease resolves in the postnatal period but is associated with an earlier and more aggressive recurrence in subsequent pregnancies. We describe the case of a woman diagnosed with impetigo herpetiformis at week 28 week of pregnancy. Despite corticosteroid therapy, she continued to have recurrences, with worsening in the postpartum period, requiring treatment with corticosteroids, cyclosporine, and adalimumab.
