Allergic granulomatosis and angiitis is very rare in pregnancy. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported in the English literature up to now. We describe a patient who developed multisystem disease with mononeuritis multiplex, dermal vasculitis, and pleuritis during gestation with an excellent response to therapy and a good pregnancy outcome.
