Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune bullous dermatosis affecting skin and mucous membrane.2 It affects all races and both sexes equally. It is common during the 5th and 6th decade of life.3 It is exceedingly rare in pregnancy 5 and is associated with increased maternal morbidity and poor neonatal outcome. 4 We do report a case of pemphigus vulgaris with pregnancy. She conceived during the active phase of the disease and treated with steroids throughout pregnancy. She delivered a live preterm, appropriate for gestational age and constitutionally small fetus.
Background: Eclampsia is a life threatening emergency, and continues to be a major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. The purpose of our study was to analyse the cases of eclampsia in a tertiary care centre and to study the maternal and perinatal outcome. Methodology: This was a retrospective study of 7 Years, from January 2013 to December 2019. Case records of all eclamptic patients during this period were analyzed. Results: The incidence of eclampsia in our hospital was 0.7%. Majority of the patients were less than 25 years, and 95% were unbooked. Antepartum eclampsia accounted for 90% of cases. Main maternal complications included PPH, Abruption and HELLP syndrome. There was no maternal mortality. Conclusion: Eclampsia is still a serious complication of pregnancy. Timely referral to higher centre, appropriate management of pre-eclampsia can prevent eclampsia.
