title: Autoimmune blistering diseases in children.
abstract: Autoimmune blistering diseases are relatively rare in children and adolescents. LADC and DH are the most often seen of these conditions and respond well to therapy. Some newly recognized diseases have been reported in children including localized vulvar pemphigoid, intraepidermal neutrophilic IgA dermatosis, and paraneoplastic pemphigus.
