Neonatal gestational pemphigoid – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2014477062

Neonatal gestational pemphigoid (neonatal pemphigoid gestationis) is a short-lived autoimmune skin disease arising as a result of transplacental transmission to the neonate of maternal antibodies. It is characterised by blister formation on the skin and the mucous membranes mediated by auto-antibodies to the hemidesmosome component BP180.
