A patient is presented who developed impetigo herpetiformis-Hebra for the first time in her 19th year, one month before a normal delivery. The child is alive and in good health. The second time the disease appeared after three years, in the 20th gestational week of the woman's new pregnancy when because of her bad general condition, pronounced skin changes, and a very high temperature (up to 41 degrees C) the artificial interruption of pregnancy was carried out by using Prostin 15M-Upjohn. She was given a total of 6 ml Prostin in two doses, and the abortion period lasted 17 hours. After abortion, the acrocyanosis of the feet and wrists appeared (after the application of Methergin). A general and symptomatic therapy was applied and the patient recovered in 24 hours. Skin and her general condition improved, and after 10 days she was discharged, and since that time (April 1984) she has had no symptoms of the disease.
