11/13. Hydrometrocolpos following prenatal dexamethasone treatment for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21-hydroxylase deficiency).A female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21-hydroxylase deficiency) received prenatal dexamethasone treatment. Suppression of the fetal adrenal was initially inadequate but adequate in later pregnancy. The baby showed masculinisation without clitoral enlargement and a narrow urogenital sinus with resulting hydrometrocolpos. It is possible that dexamethasone treatment which is initially inadequate increases the risk of this latter complication.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
12/13. pemphigus vulgaris and pregnancy: risk factors and recommendations.pemphigus vulgaris during pregnancy is exceedingly rare; only 15 cases with immunopathologic confirmation have been reported. In the four cases associated with fetal mortality the mother's disease was active and required high doses of corticosteroids and adjuvant therapy with azathioprine or dapsone for control. A pregnant woman with limited disease is described. At the time of delivery her pemphigus vulgaris antibody titer was 1:640.
