Abstract:
A case of desquamative gingivitis caused by adult linear IgA disease is presented. Management initially proved to be difficult, however, the introduction of sulfapyridine caused rapid resolution of the gingival problem. This is one of the first reports of desquamative gingivitis caused by linear IgA disease successfully treated with sulfapyridine.
