Summary: Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering skin disease, rare in infancy, but increasingly reported. We describe a case of bullous pemphigoid in a 6-month-old infant with an excellent response to topical and oral corticosteroids. In this age group, the dermatosis assumes some particularities which must be recognized by clinicians in order to prevent unnecessary diagnostic workup or diagnostic delay and treat appropriately to avoid severe morbidity.

Nesta faixa etária, a dermatose assume algumas particularidades que devem ser reconhecidas pelos clínicos, a fim de evitar a realização de exames complementares desnecessários ou o atraso no diagnóstico e tratar adequadamente para evitar morbilidade associada.Sociedade Portuguesa de Pediatria2021-04-15info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ojs.pjp.spp.pt/article/view/20477eng2184-44532184-3333Pinto, Ana Marcos-Costin, AdelinaBartolo, ElviraTapadinhas, Cristinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-05-06T15:12:31Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/20477Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T14:38:43.701167Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
