[Scleroderma in pregnancy].

The case of a 23-year-old patient with scleroderma in her first pregnancy is described. The problem complexes, the influence of the disease on the continuation of pregnancy, and how the pregnancy affects the prognosis of the scleroderma are discussed and compared with the global literature. It does not appear possible to prove that scleroderma has a specifically deleterious effect on mother and child during pregnancy. Nor does a pregnancy definitely have a positive or negative effect on the subsequent course of a scleroderma.
