In 11 patients with III A stage multiple myeloma in every week before new course of cytostatics started, three times plasmapheresis therapy had been performed. There was no difference in reducing of plasma cell mass, plasma immunoglobulins concentration and proteinuria or disappearance of osteolytic bone lesions between the group of patients treated with combination chemotherapy and plasmapheresis and chemotherapy alone. However there was visible disparity in the disappearance of bony pains: rapidly in the plasmapheresis group. One serious complication after plasmapheresis therapy was notified: gastric haemorrhage. The remaining plasmapheresis complications: tetany, nausea, vomiting, chills and bradycardia were related to citrate toxicity.

Impetigo herpetiformis (IH) is a rare dermatosis which usually occurs during the third trimester of pregnancy. It is characterized by acute erythematosquamous plaques covered with tiny superficial pustules in a herpetiform distribution with less likely mucus membranes involvement. It can be associated with constitutional symptom s such as fever, chills, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Impetigo herpetiformis can cause serious complications to the mother and fetus which include: maternal hypocalcemia leading to delirium, convulsions, and tetany in the mother, and placental insufficiency leading to still birth, neonatal death or fetal abnormalities. Lesions are expected to disappear after birth but may recur during subsequent pregnancies at an earlier gestational age. Presented here is a case of IH occurring during the 37th week of gestation in a primigravida who failed to respond to oral steroid but successfully cleared with oral etretinate.
