  • Title: [Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques in pregnancy].
    Author: Nilles M, Weyers W, Gründer K.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1989 Sep; 40(9):586-8. PubMed ID: 2681070.
    Abstract:
    PUPPP is a distinct kind of dermatosis that occurs in pregnancy and is characterized by pruritic, mostly urticarial papules. The lesions usually occur during the last trimenon and regress shortly after delivery. In contrast to other types of dermatosis in pregnancy (e.g., herpes gestationis), PUPPP is not associated with a higher incidence of fetal or maternal complications. It is relatively rare and has only occasionally been mentioned in the German literature. The clinical features and courses of eight patients are described, and the differential diagnosis is discussed with regard to other dermatoses of pregnancy.
