Vancomycin-associated linear IgA bullous dermatosis mimicking toxic epidermal necrolysis

Abstract Vancomycin is the most frequent trigger of drug-induced linear IgA bullous dermatosis. We describe a fulminant case of linear IgA bullous dermatosis in a 74-year-old man who experienced skin sloughing of 90% of his body surface after receiving vancomycin. (J Am Acad Dermatol 2003;48:S56-7.)
