Impetigo herpetiformis with hyperparathyroidism

R Wolf et al. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2005 Nov.

Abstract

Impetigo herpetiformis, first described by Hebra, is a rare pustular disorder that primarily affects pregnant women and it is often complicated by an increased risk of spontaneous abortion. A commonly associated hypocalcemia often appears with hypoparathyroidism. Here we report a case of complicated impetigo herpetiformis without hypocalcemia paired with a compensatory hyperparathyroidism.
