Özet

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease that most

commonly arise in older adults. Bullous pemphigoid is extremely rare in children. Patients were 6-

month girl and 6-year old boy admitted to the hospital because of diffuse erythematous plaques

and blisters. Biopsies were taken. Topical and oral corticosteroid treatments were started. Childhood

involvement. Treatment may include local and systemic steroid with or without combination with

dapsone, sulfapyridine and mycophenolate mofetil. BP should be in mind when a child with

erythematous plaques, vesicles and blisters on the palm, soles and body.
