  Fig. 1 (A) A 45-year-old woman presented with multiple erythematous collarettes of blisters on her whole body, mainly on the trunk. Note the clustered bullae on the back. (B) New bullae are found adjacent to old bullae, forming a string of beads sign.

• 

  Fig. 2 (A, B) Subepidermal bulla with mixed inflammatory infiltration in the upper dermis (H&E, virtual slide view). (C) Linear deposition of immunoglobulin (Ig) A along the dermoepidermal junction (direct immunofluorescence [DIF], ×200). (D) Mild widening of the mesangial matrix with focal and segmental mesangial hypercellularity on renal biopsy (periodic acid-Schiff stain, virtual slide view). The renal DIF study result showed mild IgA, C3, and minimal IgM deposits at the mesangium (not shown).
