Abstract

Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an uncommon acquired autoimmune subepidermal bullous disease characterized by the linear deposition of IgA at the basement membrane zone. Although LABD is most often idiopathic, drug-induced LABD may, occur in rare occasions. We report a case of vancomycin-induced LABD in a 70-year-old woman with septic arthritis on the right knee.
