Abstract

Pemphigus vulgaris is an immunobullous disease affecting the skin and mucous membranes most commonly during the fifth and sixth decades of life. Its occurrence in pregnancy is rare. We now report two severe cases of the disorder presenting during pregnancy and discuss its potential effects on the foetus and its management in pregnancy.
