Sažetak

Linear immunoglobulin (Ig) A bullous dermatosis
(LABD), one subtype of subepidermal autoimmune
bullous skin diseases (AIBDs), is characterized by linear
deposit of only IgA along the basement membrane
zone (BMZ) on direct immunofluorescence (DIF) (1,2).
Patients showing linear deposits of both IgA and IgG
are diagnosed with linear IgA/IgG bullous dermatosis
(LAGBD) (3,4). Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is another
type of subepidermal AIBD characterized by clinically
pruritic erythematous skin lesions with vesicles on the
elbows, knees, and buttocks with granular IgA deposits
of IgA by DIF (5). In this study, we report a Japanese
case of a patient who showed possible concurrence of
DH and LAGBD based on clinical, histological, and immunological
findings.
