title: Case report of a rare dermatosis in pregnancy: impetigo herpetiformis.
abstract: Impetigo herpetiformis (IH) is a very rare type of dermatosis seen in pregnancy. According to the published work, IH during pregnancy is associated with the risk of stillbirth, and obstetric management in such cases is very important. Early recognition is important to reduce both maternal and fetal morbidity. We present a case of IH resistant to corticosteroid therapy in a 27-year-old pregnant woman where the pregnancy was terminated by the induction of labor.
