Key words: Herpes gestationis, Dapson.

Summary. We analyze the case of herpes gestationis to 36 year-old woman, which started on 24th week of 5th gestation. During the past gestations there were no fillings. Treatment with prednisolon 40 mg per day only reduced the signs. After the birth treatment with dapson 100 mg per day for the 5-days period gave a visible effect quickly. The treatment was completed 3 months ago and now there are no signs of illness.
