Dermatoses prévias influenced by pregnancy
  • Se há um shift Th1→Th2 na gravidez faz sentido que a psoríase melhore, mas o eczema atópico, e o lupus e penfigo possam agravar
Dermatite Atópica
  • Agravamento (desvio Th2)
Psoríase
🟡
Pustular psoriasis of pregnancy | Impetigo herpetiformes
  • Geralmente melhora (desvio Th2)
Melanoma
  • Durante a gravidez → mais mortalidade relacionada com melanoma
    • Redução do sistema imunitário (Th1) durante a gravidez
    • Linfangiogénese e angiogénese durante a gravidez
Lupus
  • Durante a gravidez, uma subida do estrogénio pode provocar um agravamento ou flare do lupus, pelo que poderá justificar-se subir o tratamento antes da gravidez
Keloids
  • Often flare up during pregnancy
