“…7,21 It is suggested that, in these cases, induced BP occurs through modulation of immunity. 7 The vaccine could unmask a subclinical BP inducing a nonspecific immune reactivation in genetically predisposed individuals. 10 However, the true role of vaccine antigens in the emergence of the BP is still questioned.…”

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering dermatosis that is uncommon in childhood. We report a case of a female infant, 3 months old, which presented clinical and laboratory data for the confirmatory diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. The authors used immunohistochemical staining for collagen type IV that allowed the differentiation of bullous pemphigoid from other subepidermal bullous diseases. Opportunely we review the clinical, immunological, therapeutic and prognostic features of this pathology in children.
