Abstract

The systematic review in the International Journal of Dermatology focuses on pregnancy-associated pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), a rare skin disorder characterized by painful ulcers. The study analyzed 53 pregnant patients with PG, highlighting that cesarean section was a common precipitating factor for PG onset. Treatment options included systemic corticosteroids and antibiotics, with a mean duration of therapy of 156.6 days. The review emphasizes the need for caution in managing pregnant patients with PG to minimize pregnancy-related complications.
