Abstract

We describe a 19-year-old girl showing typical laboratory and clinical features of bullous systemic lupus erythematosus(BSLE). Clinically she has suffered from recurrent vesiculobullous skin eruptions for 7 years. The bullous eruption has not been known as the initial manifestation of SLE until she was diagnosed as SLE. These cutaneous lesions have waxed and waned with oral prednisolone with or without dapsone. Bullous SLE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children presenting with generalized bullous eruptions.
