Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) of childhood is one of the chronic, non-hereditary blistering diseases of childhood in which clinical, histologic and therapeutic findings are similar to those associated with bullous pemphigoid (BP) and dermatitis herpetiformis (DH). LABD, however, can be distinguished from BP of DH by direct immunofluorescence (IF) demonstration of linear IgA deposits along the basement membrane zone (BMZ).
