Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease (FUMHD) is a rare and severe form of 'pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta', with a progressive and potentially fatal course. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no reported case of FUMDH during pregnancy before. Due to life-threatening nature of the disease and the lack of evidence-based treatment, management of FUMHD in pregnancy is a therapeutic challenge. Additionally, some of the drugs that are effective in the treatment are contraindicated in pregnancy. Herein, we report a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with FUMHD in her 19th week of pregnancy and treated with ceftriaxone and erythromycin.
