Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid-induced linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis: case report and review of the literature.

BACKGROUND: Linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease, rarely induced by drugs.

METHODS: We describe a case of a 47-year-old man who developed a severe blistering eruption after therapy with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid.

RESULTS: Histopathologic examination and direct immunofluorescence were consistent with a diagnosis of LABD. Therapy with dapsone controlled the disease but, after sun exposure, there was a worsening of the illness.

CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first case of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid-induced LABD in an adult.
