    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Neonatology
    • Immunodermatology

    Background:

    • Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune blistering disease.
    • Neonatal pemphigus vulgaris (NPV) is an extremely rare variant.
    • Pregnancy can be a complicating factor in autoimmune conditions.

    Observation:

    • Presents the case history of a neonate diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris.
    • This represents the 13th reported case of pemphigus vulgaris during pregnancy.
    • Detailed clinical, histologic, and immunofluorescent data were collected.

    Findings:

    • Correlations between clinical presentation, histology, and immunofluorescence were analyzed.
    • Review of all previously reported cases of pemphigus vulgaris in pregnancy.
    • The study discusses the diagnostic and prognostic indicators in NPV.

    Implications:

    • Enhances understanding of rare neonatal autoimmune blistering diseases.
    • Informs clinical management strategies for pregnant individuals with pemphigus vulgaris.
    • Contributes to the limited literature on neonatal pemphigus vulgaris.
