Abstract
Linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease, rarely induced by drugs. We describe a case of a 47-year-old man who developed a severe blistering eruption after therapy with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Histopathologic examination and direct immunofluorescence were consistent with a diagnosis of LABD. Therapy with dapsone controlled the disease but, after sun exposure, there was a worsening of the illness. To our knowledge, this is the first case of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid-induced LABD in an adult.
