Summary Bullous erythema multiforme is a disorder in which oral and genital erosions, ocular inflammation and cutaneous bullae may follow a viral or bacterial infection or the ingestion of certain drugs, such as sulphonamides. Unpleasant sequelae have been reported including residual scarring, and death may occasionally result from infection or renal failure; severe scarring can cause blindness and infrequently the genital tract is involved. We report a patient who developed complete vaginal stenosis following bullous erythema multiforme in pregnancy.
