“…The activated B cells in turn could ex ert an influence on T cells [14] to control further viral pathogenesis as well as modu late further B cell expansion. This hypothe sis is consistent with (1) the recovery from PR and the decline in IgD/IgM B cells; (2) shortening the duration of the disease by passive transfer of convalescent y-globulin or plasma from PR [2,5]; (3) decrease in the capacity of the normal lymphocytes to rosette, when the normal PBL were pre treated with convalescent serum from PR. In this regard our preliminary studies sug gest an immune-complex nature of this inhi bitory factor.…”

“…On the grounds that clinically PR is similar to common exanthemata with a sud den onset, short evolution, low rate of re currence, possible contagiousness, therapeu- tic value of convalescent serum or -/-globu lin, and the results of tissue culture studies, it is recognized as a disease with a possible infective etiology [2,[5][6][7]. However, in spite of an extensive search, no supportive evidence has been demonstrated to establish a microbial etiology of PR [7][8][9].…”

“…Individual case reports, including the patient in this report, have described 29 women who developed pityriasis rosea during pregnancy and have delivered healthy newborns (Table 3) [6,1214,23,24]. Indeed, the literature shows a ratio of 6:5 with regards to healthy newborns versus newborns with adverse events being delivered to women with gestational pityriasis rosea.…”

“…Our review of the literature, including the patient in this report, discovered 54 women who developed pityriasis rosea during their pregnancy (Table 2 [6,14,22] and Table 3 [6,1214,23,24]). The onset of pityriasis rosea ranged from week 8 of gestation (3 patients: cases 7 and 8 in Table 2 and case 14 in Table 3) to week 32 (1 patient: case 7 in Table 3).…”

“…An aberrant form of PR was seen, characterized by the appearance of many disseminated papules in the characteristic distribution, with a shorter clinical course. Early reports of patients who received pooled immunoglobulin (Ig) [5] or convalescent sera [6] were reported to have a shorter rash duration.…”
