Chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood.
A case of chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood in a 3-year-old boy is described. Immunoflourescence tests were negative and biopsy of the jejunal mucosa showed marked villous atrophy. The dermatosis was brought under control by a combination of diaminodiphenylsulphone and systemic steroids. The relationship with other bullous eruptions of childhood such as dermatitis herpetiformis and bullous pemphigoid is discussed.
