摘要
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an acquired immunobullous disorder rarely seen in childhood. We report the case of an infant with BP successfully treated with oral corticosteroids. The onset of BP was associated with use of complementary medications and we speculate that these may have been triggering factors.
