Infantile Bullous Pemphigoid: Two Case Reports and Literature Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune sub epidermal blistering dermatosis that is uncommon in childhood. We report two cases of children with bullous pemphigoid. The first one was a case of a 4-month-old female infant, whereas the second is of a 3-month-old male infant. The two cases presented clinical and laboratory data for the confirmatory diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. Opportunely we review the clinical, immunological, therapeutic and prognostic features of this pathology in children.
