title: Infantile Bullous Pemphigoid Following Vaccination.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Post-vaccination infantile bullous pemphigod is a rare presentation.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 2-month-old girl presented with widespread bullae, erosions, necrotic and targetoid lesions over body and mucosae after vaccination. Histology and direct immunofluorescence (DIF) were consistent with bullous pemphigoid.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical remission with oral steroids and no recurrence with subsequent vaccination.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Continuation of vaccination may not be contraindicated in infants where bullous pemphigoid onset occurs after vaccination.
