Abstract
AbstractFebrile ulceronecrotic Mucha–Habermann disease (FUMHD) is a rare and severe form of ‘pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta’, with a progressive and potentially fatal course. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no reported case of FUMDH during pregnancy before. Due to life‐threatening nature of the disease and the lack of evidence‐based treatment, management of FUMHD in pregnancy is a therapeutic challenge. Additionally, some of the drugs that are effective in the treatment are contraindicated in pregnancy. Herein, we report a 27‐year‐old woman diagnosed with FUMHD in her 19th week of pregnancy and treated with ceftriaxone and erythromycin.
