Childhood pemphigus foliaceus.
We describe a girl who presented at the age of 12 years with a blistering eruption on the lower limbs. One week later, numerous new bullae and blisters were present. Skin biopsy for histology and immunofluorescent studies established the diagnosis of pemphigus foliaceus.
