A case of linear IgA bullous dermatosis in a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase–deficient child successfully treated with oral erythromycin and topical tacrolimus

Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) are a group of rare disorders affecting either the skin or mucous membrane or both that rarely affect the pediatric age group. Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is the most common among the AIBDs in children which gives rise to the development of subepidermal bullae due to the linear IgA deposition over the basement membrane zone.1 Clinically, it presents as tense blisters arranged in a polycyclic or annular pattern traditionally referred to as “clusters of jewels” or “string of pearls.”2
