Description

Ghassan Barnawi and two co-authors present in 2026 a case of facial erysipelas in a 31-year-old pregnant woman, reported in French. At 35 weeks of pregnancy she arrived at an emergency department with a bright red facial rash that had grown more painful over two days. She reported no injury, sore throat, itching, or fever.

Examination found a sharply edged, swollen rash across the forehead, eyelids, nose, and cheeks, warm and tender but without fluid or mucosal involvement. She had no fever and stable vital signs. Blood work showed normal white cell counts but a sharply raised C-reactive protein, pointing to bacterial skin infection. The case shows how this classic streptococcal infection presents in pregnancy, where treatment choices must protect two patients at once.
