ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Linear IgA dermatosis is a rare blistering disorder, which mainly affects children under 5 years of age and is characterized by IgA deposits in the dermoepidermal basement membrane. It presents with tense blisters that are usually located in the perioral and perineal area.
Objective:
To describe linear IgA dermatosis in childhood induced by cephalosporins.
Case Presentation:
2-year-old boy, phototype III, who developed a vesicle-blister rash after treatment with cephalosporins for a skin infection. Due to its characteristic clinical presentation and findings in histopathology and direct immunofluorescence it is diagnosed as linear IgA dermatosis.
Conclusions:
Linear IgA dermatosis is a rare disease. It is known that in the last 20 years only 4 cases have been diagnosed in Cuba, so it is important to have this fact present at the time of raising possible causes of bullous dermatoses, for early intervention. It is important to note that it can be manifested by exposure to drugs as happened in this case.s
