Dermatomyositis in pregnancy. A case report.
Few cases of dermatomyositis affecting pregnancy have been reported. In this case the fetal outcome was good, but postpartum, pregnancy-induced hypertension was associated with acute exacerbation of the disease and led to maternal death. Both the fetal and maternal outcome differed from those in previously reported cases.
