Introduction and importance: Pott’s disease is a form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and has a global increase in incidence. The diagnosis should be made early to avoid neurological deficiency or deformity of the spine. Case presentation: A 2-year-old and 6-month-old boy was admitted with fever and unspecific generalized pain, the examination revealed mild hyperreflexia in the lower extremities, isotope scan showed increased uptake in the T8 vertebra. MRI demonstrated destruction in the T8 vertebra with kyphotic deformity and abscess anterior to T7, T8, and T9 levels with an epidural abscess at the T8 level extending to the spinal canal and compressing the spinal cord. The patient underwent a surgical procedure with a transthoracic approach, the decompression of the spinal canal was performed through T8 corpectomy, the reduction of kyphosis was performed and the internal fixation with a dynamic cylinder and lateral titanium plate was carried out. Microbiologic examination suggests Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Clinical discussion: Pott’s disease (spinal TB) is extremely rare in the young children population, and surgical treatment is reported only in a few reports, and it is considered a technical challenge. There are several surgical approaches during childhood, for upper thoracic spinal TB, the posterior approach is easy, minimally invasive, safe, reliable, and effective. But it had the worst outcomes. In contrast, the anterior approach provides direct access to the lesions. Conclusion: More research are needed to detect the best choice in the management of thoracic spinal TB in children.

Introduction: Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is a rare acquired skin blistering autoimmune disease. It can be diagnosed by confirming the presence of a linear band of IgA at the dermoepidermal junction on direct immunofluorescence microscopy. LABD can be characterized by vesicular lesions, diffuse blisters, or even as a mimicker of Steven–Johnson syndrome. LABD may be caused by tumours, infections, or drugs (amiodarone, furosemide, phenytoin, however, vancomycin is the potential inciting drug in most reports). Case presentation: The authors present here a case of a 61-year-old woman with a history of HTN. The patient had a discectomy 15 years ago, and also underwent a lumbar fusion surgery that resulted in complications with her discitis. Due to the complications from the surgery, intravenous treatment with vancomycin and meropenem was initiated. After a few days of treatment, the patient developed clear, tense, fluid-filled bullae over the upper extremities. Immunofluorescence microscopy is not available in our hospital. Therefore a diagnosis of vancomycin-induced LABD was proposed based on the clinical manifestation of the lesions and the coincidence with vancomycin administration. After 2 days of discontinuing the administration of vancomycin and applying local diprosone, the lesions started to regress and a full recovery was achieved on day 10. Discussion and conclusion: Even though drug-induced LABD is uncommon, its incidence has been steadily increasing in the last few years. LABD is a simple condition with a good prognosis and full recovery after the discontinuation of vancomycin
