    Author: Rao R, Prabhu SS, Sripathi H, Gupta S.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2008 Jul 15; 14(7):16. PubMed ID: 18718200.
    Abstract:
    Vesiculobullous disorders in a child can be a diagnostic challenge. Common causes of blisters in early childhood include genodermatoses like epidermolysis bullosa and infections like herpes simplex. Lipoid proteinosis may rarely present with vesiculobullous lesions in childhood. We report a child, who presented in early childhood with blistering dermatosis. On long term follow-up, typical features of lipoid proteinosis developed. A high index of suspicion is required when one deals with blistering dermatosis in a child.
