Abstract

Pustular psoriasis of pregnancy (PPP) is a rare dermatological disease associated with potentially life-threatening maternal and fetal outcomes. We report a case of a 25-year-old primigravida Arabian woman diagnosed with PPP at 36 weeks of gestation, presenting initially as generalized erythematous plaques. Early recognition and treatment with Prednisolone, induction of labor, and later with the addition of cyclosporine, we were able to avoid the complications related to PPP. Given the prognosis of untreated PPP is it imperative to standardize the method of diagnosing and treating the disease to ensure the best possible outcomes for both the mother and the fetus.
