Linear IgA disease is characterized by the presence of linear IgA deposits in the basement membrane zone of the skin, and circulating basement membrane zone antibodies are detected in 80% of cases. The disease occurs in both adults and children, and is designated adult linear IgA disease in the former and chronic bullous disease of childhood (CBDC) in the latter. We describe a 5-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission, in whom CBDC developed after treatment with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (cotrimoxazole). To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of possible drug-induced CBDC.
