title: Chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood persisting into adulthood.
abstract: 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.
