ABSTRACT
Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is a rare autoimmune bullous disease that can either occur without any apparent cause or be induced by the administration of certain drugs, the most common of which is vancomycin. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman who was diagnosed with vancomycin-induced LABD by the presence of a characteristic linear band of IgA along the basement membrane zone on direct immunofluorescence microscopy. Our patient showed complete recovery after a 2-week period during which vancomycin administration was discontinued.
