| Abstract | We present a case of pemphigus vulgaris which developed during pregnancy. The newborn infant was normal. Bullous lesions were successfully treated by pulse therapy with high-dose corticosteroids. This is, to our knowledge, the first report in English from Japan describing pemphigus vulgaris associated with pregnancy. |
