Abstract

We describe the tenth reported case of neonatal pemphigus that mimicked Bart's syndrome and review previously published cases. Unlike previous cases, the child was born with significant blistering to a mother who was in complete remission throughout the pregnancy. High antepartum maternal titers of anti-intercellular space antibodies, increased maternal disease activity, and maternal disease that requires high doses of corticosteroids or use of combined therapy correlate with poor fetal outcome, including intrauterine death.
