Summary
Linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis (LABD) is a rare pediatric blistering disease. Early diagnosis is crucial, though often delayed due to disease unawareness.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Immunodermatology
- Pediatric Dermatology
Background:
- Linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis (LABD) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease.
- It is the second most common pediatric blistering disorder after dermatitis herpetiformis.
- LABD typically affects children, with an average age of 4.5 years, and has an incidence of 0.5-2.3 cases/million individuals/year.

4.5K
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
