Rowell Syndrome Triggered by Pregnancy

AbstractRowell syndrome (RS) is a rare disorder associated with lupus erythematosus and erythema multiforme (EM)-like cutaneous lesions. This article presents a 21-year-old female patient who had been followed up for two years with a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and developed RS in the second trimester of pregnancy. Our patient, whose disease exacerbated with skin findings during pregnancy, recovered on cyclosporine treatment without systemic involvement and delivered a healthy baby at term.
