Abstract:
A 69-year-old woman presented with pneumonia and subacute bacterial endocarditis. Nine days after intravenous vancomycin and ciprofloxacin were commenced, the patient developed a bullous mucocutaneous eruption. Clinical presentation and histopathology were consistent with drug-induced linear IgA bullous disease (LABD). The patient's lesions resolved with cessation of antibiotics. A review of the features of drug-induced LABD and the drugs that have been implicated are presented.
