Linear IgA bullous dermatosis in adults and children: a clinical and immunopathological study of 38 patients.

Our epidemiological and clinicopathological findings relative to a large cohort of LABD patients are mostly consistent with the literature data. Interestingly, head, notably perioral, involvement and "string of pearls" arrangement occurred more frequently in the paediatric than adult group. The above clinical parameters may be regarded as diagnostic tools for LABD in children.
