While most people have their first herpes outbreak when they’re young, either in the form of oral herpes symptoms presenting a cold sore or fever blister as with herpes labialis, others had chicken pox as school children. [skincarearticles.com]

Approximately five out of 10,000 pregnant women have varicella (chickenpox). 7 It causes fever and a disseminated pruritic, vesicular, umbilicated rash with crusted lesions. [aafp.org]

They differ from true urticaria because they are relatively fixed in nature. The rash spreads peripherally, often sparing the face, palms and soles. Mucosal lesions occur in fewer than 20% of cases. [patient.info]

They were manifested by a polymorphous eruption, consisting of erythematous urticaria-like plaques, small tense vesicles and multiple excoriations. Mucous membranes were not affected. Routine laboratory examinations were within normal limits. [journal-imab-bg.org]

ICP may present with secondary skin changes such as excoriations and excoriated papules from scratching, or may present with pruritus alone. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

With excoriations, there can be oozing, weeping, and secondary bacterial infection. [glowm.com]

It is characterized by maternal pruritus affecting the palms and soles, and increased rates of preterm labor and adverse fetal outcomes. 4, 5 There are no dermatologic features, except for excoriation from the pruritus. [aafp.org]

The occurrence of the HLA-DR3-DR4 combination has been reported to be greatly increased in whites with HG (43%, as compared with a 3% incidence in control subjects). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The HLA-DR4 antigen is uncommon in American blacks, which may explain the infrequent occurrence of HG in this population. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology and pathophysiology are not established, but an immunological basis is implicated by the frequent finding of C 3 along the basement membrane zone of perilesional skin, the presence of herpes gestationis factor, increased incidence of HLA-DR3 and HLA-DR4 [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

Indeed, a slight increase in HLA-DR2 in the husbands of women with PG has been reported. 23 It has been suggested that immunologically primed women may simply react more strongly to tissue with disparate HLA antigens. [dermaamin.com]

In herpes gestationis, immunofluorescence studies were consistently positive, there was a high frequency of HLA-B8 and an association with autoimmune thyrotoxicosis. Toxic erythema of pregnancy did not share these immunological features. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Immunogenetic studies reveal an increase in HLA antigens DR3 or DR4, and curiously, nearly 50 percent of patients have the simultaneous presence of both. 21 The extended haplotype HLA-A1, B8, DR3 is known to be in linkage disequilibrium with a deletion [dermaamin.com]
