Childhood Bullous Lichen Planus

摘要

Abstract:A child with previous lichenoid lesions had bullae refractory to antistaphylococcal antibiotics. Biopsy of a bulla showed histologic changes of bullous lichen planus. Indirect immunofluorescence using the patient's serum on a perilestional bulla biopsy showed positive staining for IgA and IgG in the stratum granulosum and stratum corneum, confirming the diagnosis. The lesions resolved with dapsone treatment.
