Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Linear IgA bullous disease is an acquired, autoimmune, vesiculobullous disease. Its name comes from linear deposition of immunoglobulin class (A)along the dermoepidermal junction when detected by direct immunofluorescence .Both children and adults are affected. Both sexes are equally affected with slight female predominance.In children it is referred as chronic bullous disease of childhood (CBDC). It affects children mainly between 1 and 11 years with peak between 6 and 8year. All races are affected but more common in developing countries.Its onset is acute and usually severe while recurrences become less severe. Diaminodiphenylsulfone (Dapsone) is the treatment of choice, in addition to systemic corticosteroids. We reported an 8-year-old boy with a vesiculobullous eruption which developed suddenly without any preceding infection or drugs in the previous two weeks. He complained of moderate itching diagnosed as scabies and received topical anti scabitic medications,with worsening of symptoms and appearance of new lesions.He was diagnosed as having contact dermatitis. The patient had many vesiculobullous and erosive lesions in the face, trunk, gentalia and back with sparing of palms and soles. We diagnosed him clinically as having (CBDC) and admitted in our hospital. Biopsy was taken from newly erupted intact vesicles for histopathology and prelesinal skin for immunofluorescence and soon we started Dapsone 2 mg/kg /day. After immunohistological verification, the treatment with oral prednisone 1mg/kg/day hadbeen started. Refrences 1)Wilson BD, Beutner EH, Kumar V, Chorzelski TP, Jablonska S.
