“…At times, however, when the pelvic area was involved, the clinical picture was similar to that of BCBDC. Oral mucous membrane involvement, which is commoner in BP affecting children (Marsden et al, 1979) than in BCBDC (Kim & Winkelmann, 1961), was present in only two of our five patients. In all five patients IMF showed linear BMZ deposits of IgG and complement in the skin together with a circulating BMZ antibody (IgG class).…”

“…The five patients with bullous pemphigoid had widespread painful and pruritic vesiculo-buUous lesions, which in two of them developed on a background of erythema. Lesions tended to be more peripheral than in BCBDC (Kim & Winkelmann, 1961) occurring particularly on the palms and soles. At times, however, when the pelvic area was involved, the clinical picture was similar to that of BCBDC.…”

“…The condition was first separated from dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) by Kim & Winkelmann (1961). Until then DH in children was thought to differ from the adult disease with large bullae predominating.…”

“…A fundamental difference between BCBDC and DH is that the former is self-limiting whilst the latter tends to persist into adult life (Sobye, 1948;Kim & Winkelmann, 1961;Grant, 1968). There are no reports of BCBDC extending beyond puberty (Alexander, 1975).…”

Summary Eighteen patients with benign chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood were studied and the findings compared with those of dermatitis herpetiformis (twenty‐two cases) and bullous pemphigoid (five cases) beginning in childhood. The patients with benign chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood had a moderately pruritic bullous eruption with maximal involvement of the pelvic and perioral regions which tended to occur at an earlier age than either dermatitis herpetiformis or bullous pemphigoid. In contrast to dermatitis herpetiformis one‐third of the cases with benign chronic bullous dermaiosis of childhood went into remission. Evidence of coeliac disease was only found in the dermatitis herpetiformis group. Surprisingly both diseases shared HLA‐B8. A linear BMZ band of IgA was detected on direct immunofluorescence in all but one of the cases with benign chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood and circulating antibodies were detectable in two‐thirds. Routine histopathology was of little value in distinguishing between benign chronic bullous dermaiosis of childhood and dermatitis herpetiformis or bullous pemphigoid. Several paradoxes have yet to be explained before it can be determined whether benign chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood is a variant of dermatitis herpetiformis or linear IgA disease.

“…Prednisolone is helpful in combination with either sulphapyridine or dapsone. However, doses in excess of 20 mg daily are usually necessary when the drug is given alone (Frain-Bell, 1957;Kim & Winkelmann, 1961;Soifer, 1961;Grant, 1968;Alexander, 1975;Chorzelski & Jablonska, 1979). Sulphamethoxypyridazine is an effective alternative (Jefferson, 1958;Everall, i960;Grant, 1968;Alexander, 1975) and was particularly successful in two of our patients with refractory disease.…”

Bullous pemphigoid in children appears to be the same disease as its adult counterpart based on a case in a 3-year-old boy. Generalized tense bullae over the skin and oral mucosa, characteristic direct and indirect immunofluorescence, elevated IgE levels, blood eosinophilla, and therapeutic response to corticosteroids parallel the disease in adults. The long-term prognosis, however, is still unknown. A review of bullous pemphigoid in children is presented.
