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
