Chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood persisting into adulthood.
Chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood (CBDC) is an autoimmune, subepidermal bullous disease that, in the majority of patients, remits before the onset of puberty. The disease does not always pursue a benign course, however. We cared for a patient in whom the condition persisted well beyond puberty without clinical or immunologic remission.
