A male newborn with skin erosions was born to a 32-year-old woman who was under treatment for pemphigus vulgaris that had been diagnosed 16 months earlier. Antibodies to desmoglein (Dsg)1 and Dsg3 were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Index values of antibodies to Dsg1 and Dsg3 were 49 (normal index values, <14) and 121 (normal index values, <7), respectively. Those findings concluded a diagnosis of neonatal pemphigus vulgaris. No new vesicles or bullae appeared in the newborn after the birth. Non-corticosteroid ointments produced prompt epithelialization on the erosive lesions. All the eruptions disappeared in 3 weeks. The level of serum anti-Dsg3 autoantibodies when measured at the 76th day was negative (<5).
