Abstract
Impetigo herpetiformis is a rare and serious pustular eruption resembl ing pustular psoriasis that mostly occurs in pregnant women. The etiol ogy of the disease is unclear and it is not known if genetic factors p lay a role. We present two sisters (twins) with impetigo herpetiformis supporting an inheritance pattern.
