Linear IgA bullous disease in a patient with Crohn's disease.
Linear IgA bullous disease is a rare autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease characterized by linear deposition of IgA along the basement membrane zone. We report a clinical case of a rare association of Linear IgA bullous disease and Crohn's disease. Parallel clinical improvement of both cutaneous and intestinal disease was observed with dapsone treatment.
