“…Most investigators have reported negative indirect immunofiuorescence for circulating IgA basement membrane antibodies (8), and this was negative in patient 3, the only one of our patients to have the test, Wojnarowska et al reported that 70% of their patients had positive indirect immunofiuorescence (5), Lawley and co-workers found no evidence of gluten-sensitive enteropathy on jejunal biopsy of six patients with linear IgA dermatosis, whereas five of five patients with granular IgA deposits had villous atrophy and intraepithelial lymphocytes on jejunal biopsy (12). None of our patients had any clinical evidence of gluten-sensitive enteropathy, although jejunal biopsies were not performed.…”

We followed three children who met the clinical, histologic, and immunologic criteria for chronic bullous disease of childhood (linear IgA dermatosis). All patients were able to discontinue therapy after two months to two years. Two have continued to experience transient mild episodes of blistering that have not required reinstitution of systemic therapy. In our opinion, children with this condition have a benign course with disease-free remissions and can be expected to discontinue all therapy eventually.

“…The lesions are typically most prominent on the abdomen and perineum but may also involve the trunk, extremities, face, and mucous membranes. 1,2 It is also common to see new lesions at the periphery of older blisters forming a configuration known as a "cluster of jewels." The target antigen of the IgA autoantibodies in LABD is a 120-kd secreted portion of the BP180 antigen.…”

“…Nous reviendrons sur cette discus sion plus loin; quoiqu'il en soit, en raison de cette incertitude, beaucoup classent toutes ces formes de pemphigoïde bulleuse des jeunes dans un tableau très large sous le nom de «dermatite bulleuse chronique de l'enfance» sans préjuger de l'évolution ultérieure [33,52,83,110].…”

This comparison of the two diseases – pemphigus and pemphigoid – aimed particularly on points of actual interest. Are thus reviewed: (1) the research on the influence of racial or genetic factors in pemphigus vulgaris; (2) the striking differences between the immunological criteria of the two; (3) the clinical polymorphism of pemphigus: besides pemphigus superficialis, non-bullous forms, usually milder, of various types: herpetiformis, circinate ... are now being described; (4) the importance in all cases of eosinophilic spongiosis; (5) the clinical monomorphism of classical bullous pemphigus; on the contrary, the differences, both from clinical and prognostic points of view, in localized bullous pemphigoid (from the benign mucocutaneous form to the severe scarring disease) and in bullous pemphigoid of children; (6) the cases of genuine pemphigus induced by drugs D-penicillamine, rifampicine) and the problem of the pemphigus-like antibodies; (7) bullous pemphigoid, UV light and practolol; (8) the outstanding association of two major immune diseases, pemphigus vulgaris, myasthenia and thymorna; (9) the mixed bullous dermatoses: pemphigus vulgaris and dermatosis herpetiformis (to separate from herpetiform pemphigus), bullous pemphigoid and dermatosis herpetiformis (bringing up the unsolved problem of mixed or intermediate forms of the two diseases), bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris, exceptionally seen, and (10) some news on therapy.
