Abstract

Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an acquired IgA autoimmune blistering disease characterized subepidermal tense bullae in an annular (or less commonly herpetiform or linear) arrangement. LABD is due to circulating IgA antibodies that target the basement membrane zone, specifically 97 kDa antigen portion of bullous pemphigoid antigen 2 (BP180). An adult and childhood variant exist (chronic bullous disease of childhood-CBDC) of which the etiology is unknown.
