title: Linear IgA bullous dermatosis occurring after carbamazepine.
abstract: Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an immunobullous disorder in which IgA antibodies are deposited within the basement membrane zone. The cause is unknown, but the eruption may occur in association with certain medications. We report a patient who experienced LABD shortly after starting carbamazepine therapy.
