Linear immunoglobulin a bullous disease of childhood responsive to intravenous immunoglobulin monotherapy
Pediatr Dermatol.

Abstract
We report a case of linear immunoglobulin A bullous disease in a 9-year-old boy who presented with rapidly progressive severe disease and could not tolerate dapsone because of high liver enzymes within a week after a low dose of dapsone in association with an underlying fatty liver. He showed remarkable improvement with intravenous immunoglobulins used as monotherapy, with a rapid clearance and a sustained remission after stopping the treatment.
