Abstract
Pemphigus in pregnancy is a special clinical scenario that has potential consequences on both maternal and fetal outcomes. Being an autoimmune disease with Th2 preponderance, pemphigus is expected to flare in pregnancy, especially in the first two trimesters. Fetal outcomes like stillbirth and neonatal pemphigus have been reported, the latter being a consequence of a transient transplacental transfer of autoantibodies. Management needs to be individualized keeping the risk/benefit ratios of therapies in mind while optimizing maternal and fetal health. It is crucial to have appropriate counseling regarding conception for women with pemphigus in the child-bearing period because the probability of adverse materno-fetal outcomes is higher if the disease is severe.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
