Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can cause numerous skin lesions. Despite being rare, lupus-specific bullous lesions demonstrate characteristic clinical and immunopathological features and require differential diagnosis among numerous bullous conditions that may overlap with SLE. The present study presents a case of bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE) in a pregnant woman.
