Childhood linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis is a well-recognized autoimmune blistering dermatosis that can be idiopathic, drug-induced, secondary to autoimmune diseases, malignancies, infections, or gastrointestinal diseases including inflammatory bowel disease. However, it has not been previously associated with a history of organ transplantation. Here, we report two cases of childhood linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis in young infants following multivisceral organ transplant, including one with a particularly recalcitrant course.

We report a 7-year-old girl born with pyloric atresia but without congenital epidermolysis bullosa or skin fragility. Nail dysplasia developed at age 8 months and throughout childhood she suffered from onycholysis and mild nail hypertrophy. Whole-exome sequencing demonstrated biallelic mutations in alpha6 integrin (ITGA6): p.

Erythroderma is the end-stage condition caused by various inflammatory diseases, presenting with widespread generalized coalesced erythema on the trunk and extremities. Erythroderma is not a disease itself, but rather is a symptom expressing erythrodermic condition, which is frequently associated with inguinal lymphadenopathy, chills, and mild fever. The clinical characteristics include sparing the folds of the trunk and extremities (deck-chair sign), and cobblestone-like disseminated grouping prurigo; however, the deck-chair sign is not specific to papulo-erythroderma (Ofuji disease).

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an acquired auto-immune blistering disease, which is uncommon during childhood. Infantile BP usually has a good prognosis with rare recurrence and the suspected triggers are vaccines or viruses. We report the case of a three-month-old infant girl who presented with BP a week after a SARS-CoV-2 infection and three weeks after the first doses of polio, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type-b, hepatitis, and pneumococcus vaccinations.

The majority of dermatitis cases in adults result from chronic or relapsing atopic dermatitis in childhood. Adult-onset atopic dermatitis, also known as idiopathic chronic eczematous eruption of aging (CEEA), is a phenomenon seen in adults 50 years and older with no prior history of atopic dermatitis. CEEA is often a diagnosis of exclusion after ruling out more serious causes of dermatitis including bullous pemphigoid (BP), allergic conditions, and hematologic malignancies.
