Abstract:
A young woman presented two distinct vesiculobullous dermatoses sharing in common her husband's imputability. She suffered from contact dermatitis due to colophony used by her husband who was violinist. During her second pregnancy, pemphigoid gestationis was diagnosed. This autoimmune disease is directed to the father's HLA class II present on the placenta. The same antibodies also interact with the dermo-epidermal junction in the mother where they induce blisters.
