Pediatric Autoimmune Bullous Disease: A Literature Review and Update on Management.

Pediatric autoimmune bullous disease is a rare group of blistering skin disorders in children that result from autoimmunity against intercellular and basement membrane antigens in the skin and mucous membranes. Most pediatric cases are treated with oral corticosteroids or longer-term immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil. Immunomodulating drugs such as rituximab are increasingly being considered as options for refractory disease.
