Dermatomyositis presenting in pregnancy

A Harris et al. Br J Dermatol. 1995 Nov.

Abstract

We report the onset of dermatomyositis in a woman pregnant 38-weeks who subsequently delivered a healthy infant. The disease improved rapidly following delivery. The association of dermatomyositis with pregnancy is unusual, and fetal outcome may be adversely affected.
