We describe a patient with familial epidermodysplasia verruciformis (due to papilloma virus type 3a) in whom the skin lesions slowly regressed after two pregnancies. The non‐specific cell‐mediated immunity, which had been decreased, became normal, and specific humoral antibody titres became positive. The regression appears to have resulted from immunological changes related to pregnancy.
