Pemphigoid gestationis (herpes gestationis) is an autoimmune bullous dermotosis occuring dining pregnancy or in the post-partum period. The interaction of this rare pathology with pregnancy is underestimated by obstetricians. Authors report one case of pemphigoid gestationis diagnosed in a pregnant woman at term. After a literature review, clinical aspects of this dermatosis and especially its interactions with pregnancy are assessed.
