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. Both triggers (infection and vaccination) could be implicated as a slight recurrence was observed after the second doses of vaccines. Rapid clinical resolution was obtained with topical corticosteroids.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a chronic autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease, affecting mostly the elderly. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a set of metabolic disorders including obesity, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and dyslipidemia. Observational studies have revealed a correlation between BP and MetS with controversial results and the causal relationship needs to be clarified.
