Bullous pemphigoid in infancy--a case report including new immunoblotting observations

L S Ostlere et al. Clin Exp Dermatol. 1993 Sep.

Abstract

A 1-year-old boy developed bullous pemphigoid. Immunoblotting, which has not been previously reported in childhood pemphigoid, showed the serum reacted to a 190 kDa band only. Bullous pemphigoid is rare in infancy and childhood with only 40 cases previously reported. A brief review of the literature is given and treatment of childhood bullous pemphigoid is discussed.
