Linear IgA bullous dermatosis induced by piroxicam.
Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an acquired, autoimmune, heterogeneous subepidermal blistering disorder usually idiopathic in nature, but in recent years a variety of drugs have been reported to induce this disorder. We describe the first reported patient who developed LABD after ingestion of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) piroxicam.
