Abstract:
The linear IgA bullous dermatosis is a rare chronic vesicobullous disease resembling dermatitis herpetiformis or bullous pemphigoid. We report a case of linear IgA bullous dermatosis developed in a 16 year old female, whose cutaneous lesions were unusually acute. The urticarial wheals started on her buttock and spread to her entire body in two hours and generalized blistering de veloped within four days, The response by dapsone was also dramatic. Routine histological and both direct and indirect immunofluorescent microscopic findings were typical of linear IgA bullous dermatosis.
