Overview

A case reports the diagnosis of anti-p200 pemphigoid in an infant, suggesting challenges in clinical differentiation.

Key Points

  • The aim is to highlight a rare case of anti-p200 pemphigoid that mimicked linear IgA disease in an infant.
  • Clinical examination of vesicles on the infant's body.
  • Histomorphological analysis to differentiate diseases.
  • Immunofluorescence tests to assess antibody presence.
  • Treatment with prednisolone followed by dapsone.
  • The infant presented with vesicles resembling linear IgA disease.
  • Immunofluorescence revealed positive anti-laminin β4 antibodies.
  • Condition improved with prednisolone but recurred during tapering.
  • Complete remission achieved with dapsone administration.
