ABSTRACT
Bullous lesions can rarely be present on the course of systemic
lupus erythematosus (SLE), and the frequency is 0.04-8%. During
pregnancy lupus activity can exacerbate in 20-40% of cases,
usually one month after postpartum. We present the case of a
21 year-old female which developed vesicles and bullous lesions
on her late puerperium, with clinical and histopathology findings
of bullous SLE. She had remission of the clinical lesions after
suppression of lupus activity
