title: Bullous dermatoses in childhood: part I.
abstract: A classification of bullous dermatoses in childhood is presented, according to the histologic location of the bulla and the heritability of the disease, combined with the most recent laboratory examinations used in dermatologic practice. For a better understanding of the proposed classification, the authors also present a review of this group of diseases, which vary greatly within the group. In this first part of the classification and review, the group of bullous dermatoses with nonhereditary characteristics and intraepidermal cleavage is described.
