Abstract EN
Herpes gestations is a rare autoimmune disease of pregnancy or postpartum period characterized by pruritic and polymorphic bullous lesions (1>.
It is of unknown etiology and unrelated to any known viral infection.
Its incidence has been estimated to be 1 / 10,000 to 1 / 50,000 deliveries(2ti >.
Definite diagnosis depends on histopathologic and immunofluorescence studies.
Here we describe a case of transient neonatal bullous lesions affecting a male newborn secondary to maternal herpes gestations, suggesting a transplacental transfer of autoantibodies from the mother to the baby.
