Treatment of Gestational Pemphigoid with Active Disease During Pregnancy

Clinical scenario

This protocol addresses pemphigoid gestationis presenting with active disease during pregnancy — specifically excluding the post-partum and post-abortion periods. The concurrent requirement to manage an autoimmune blistering disorder while protecting the pregnancy shapes the treatment approach.

Treatment approach (partial)

The protocol involves adjustment of systemic corticosteroid therapy to achieve disease control. The complete regimen — including dosing thresholds, escalation criteria, and the full clinical algorithm — is available in the structured protocol below.
