Abstract
A 16-year-old boy had a 6-year history of a generalized bullous eruption that was resistant to multiple therapies. Findings of immunofluorescent split-skin studies and electron microscopy were consistent with a diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. Treatment with cyclosporine and prednisolone decreased new blister formation. Additional therapy with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins was successful in controlling the patient's disease.
