Immunoelectronmicroscopic differentiation of linear IgA bullous dermatosis of adults with coexistence of IgA and IgG deposition from bullous pemphigoid.
The differentiation between linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) is sometimes difficult in patients who have both IgA and IgG deposition in a linear pattern at the basement membrane zone. ⋯ These findings indicate that our two cases of acquired blistering disease with co-existence of IgA and IgG deposition are LABD, rather than BP.

Review Case ReportsDermatology and conditions related to obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Patients with cutaneous disorders may have obsessive-compulsive symptoms but treatment for these symptoms has been limited. Advances in our understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorders have led to the concept of a spectrum with similar phenomenology, underlying neurobiology, and psychopharmacotherapeutic response. Many of these disorders, which include trichotillomania, neurotic excoriation, onychophagia, body dysmorphic disorder, and dermatitis artefacta may respond to specific therapeutic interventions.

Case ReportsLinear IgA bullous dermatosis associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
A case of linear IgA bullous dermatosis associated with rheumatoid arthritis is described. The eruption consisted of multiple irregular erythematous plaques and small numbers of tense vesicles mainly on the trunk. ⋯ Treatment with dapsone resulted in good control of the eruption. Coexistence of linear IgA bullous dermatosis and rheumatoid arthritis has not been reported previously.
