title: Linear IgA bullous dermatosis associated with vancomycin and disseminated varicella-zoster infection.
abstract: Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is characterized by linear deposits of IgA at the basement membrane zone. Most cases are idiopathic, but medications, infections, autoimmune disorders, and malignancies have been documented as potential inducers. We report a case where both vancomycin and varicella-zoster infection were present as triggers.
