Pitiriasis rosada en el embarazo : Reporte de caso

Abstract

Although Pityriasis Rosea is considered a benign cutaneous condition, in the context of pregnancy, there are studies that relate the appearance of this pathology with associated complications in the fetus. Methodology: A prospective case report was made to a 36-year-old Chilean woman who presented this pathology during the twelve weeks of pregnancy. The objective was to describe, the evolution and control and to contrast its evolution with the current scientific evidence on this subject. Results: Patient presents concordant erythematous-desquamative plaques with diagnosis of Pityriasis Rosea (surface affected less than 50% of his body), without presenting enanthem, nor systemic symptoms. Had a healthy newborn at 38 weeks of gestation, without presenting any adverse effect related to the analyzed literature. Conclusions: Different studies have studied the possible adverse effects on the fetus in mothers who have presented pityriasis rosea in pregnancy, however in this case report there were no associated complications. Missing studies in a greater number of patients.
