[The spectrum of transient acantholytic dermatoses].

In reviewing the literature, we made an attempt to expand the term "transient acantholytic dermatosis" (TAD) beyond the criteria of classical Grover's disease to a broader spectrum of diseases and to systematically categorize the variety of reported clinical pictures. Moreover, we endeavoured to separate these conditions from Darier's and Hailey-Hailey's disease and from immunofluorescence-positive acantholytic dermatoses. Three patients of our own are presented with a heretofore undescribed bullous exanthematic variant.
