[Exanthematic pustulosis of pregnancy: favorable evolution using calcium and vitamin D2].
A 26-year-old pregnant woman was hospitalized in an emergency setting for a skin eruption. She had developed pustules distributed on round patch-like areas of rash localized at the umbilicus and the larger skin folds. She was given calcitriol and calcium with good results. Systemic steroids are usually given for exanthematic pustulosis of pregnancy but with variable efficacy. Few cases of successful treatment with calcium and vitamin D have been reported. We suggest this alternative treatment could be useful in other cases.
