Linear IgA-dependent bullous dermatosis is a rare subepidermal bladderworm disease that occurs in both adults and children. The pathogenesis of the disease, regardless of age, is the same, where the basis is the autoimmune response to antigens of the basal membrane zones of the skin, the clinical picture in childhood differs from the manifestations at an older age, having a clear picture and localization of manifestations. The causes of the onset of the disease in older people are most often associated with taking medications, manifested as a side effect of the therapy being taken, cancer, and in children, both an acquired character and a genetic predisposition are responsible for the manifestation of linear IgA-dependent bullous dermatosis. The diagnosis can be confirmed by histological and immunofluorescence analysis.
