“…PP is a clinical diagnosis because it lacks specific histopathologic and laboratory findings ( Kroumpouzos and Cohen, 2001 , Roth et al, 2016 ). Its pathophysiology has been elusive, with some authors advocating that PP could develop secondary to scratching in response to pruritus gravidarum (gestational itch; Ingber, 2009 , Roger et al, 1994 ). Associations with obstetric cholestasis or a family history of cholestasis have been reported ( Cicek et al, 2007 ).…”

As the present series indicates, the designation PP is preferred over AEP for patients without an atopic background.…”

“…Acreditamos que a presença de eosinofilia em pacientes com pênfigo deva motivar a suspeita diagnóstica da variante herpetiforme, mas ainda não há dados que suportem seu papel como célula efetora nessa desordem. Há uma grande variação na literatura quanto à frequência de acantólise no AP do PH (de 12,5% a 60% dos pacientes), e quando está presente, é descrita como leve ou mínima (28)(29)(30)61). Esse achado esteve mais presente na nossa casuística, inclusive foi exuberante em 3 dos nossos pacientes.…”
