Abstract
This case is original in terms of the atypical presentation of AHA associated with severe PEP. AHA was associated with the presence of antifactor VIII Ab. Although the disease generally occurs alone, it has already been reported during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and in association with various forms of dermatosis, including bullous pemphigoid, although to our knowledge, never in association with PEP or pemphigoid gestationis. However, neither the underlying mechanisms of this association of PEP and AHA, which was probably not a chance occurrence, nor the risks of relapse of these conditions during subsequent pregnancies have been elucidated.
