    Author: Kodagali SS, Subbarao SD, Hiremagaloor R.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2014 Apr; 51(4):316-7. PubMed ID: 24825277.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Neonatal pemphigus is a rare, transient blistering condition due to transplacental transfer of maternal autoantibodies. CASE CHARACTERISTICS: A male neonate born to a mother with oral pemphigus was noticed to have multiple lesions. OBSERVATION: Multiple flaccid bullae were noticed on the face, scalp, trunk and extremities with clear fluid and few areas of erosions. OUTCOME: All lesions resolved at the end of one week with conservative management. MESSAGE: Maternal pemphigus may rarely involve her newborn infant; it resolves on its own.
