title: Transplacentally transferred dermatoses.
abstract: Transplacentally transferred dermatoses (TTDs) are cutaneous diseases that are transmitted from mother to fetus through the placental circulation. The uniqueness of the maternal-placental-fetal interaction provides many helpful opportunities to enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis and course of these diseases.
