Abstract
Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha–Habermann
disease (FUMHD) is a rare and severe
form of ‘pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta’, with a progressive and potentially
fatal course. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no reported
case of FUMDH during pregnancy before. Due to life-threatening
nature of the
disease and the lack of evidence-based
treatment, management of FUMHD in
pregnancy is a therapeutic challenge. Additionally, some of the drugs that are
effective in the treatment are contraindicated in pregnancy. Herein, we report a
27-year-
old
woman diagnosed with FUMHD in her 19th week of pregnancy and
treated with ceftriaxone and erythromycin.
