Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) during pregnancy is exceedingly rare. Only 16 cases have been reported in the English literature. Some of the etiologic factors that may induce pemphigus are well known while others are only suspected or unknown. We present a patient with pemphigus during her second pregnancy and in whom several factors might have induced the disease.
