Abstract:
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is an autoimmune blistering disease with the distinct feature of having an autoantibody directed against an antigen located below the basement membrane of human skin and mucous membrane. We identified this disease in an 8-year-old girl, the youngest patient documented by immunoelectron microscopy.
