Abstract

AbstractA four‐month‐old Japanese girl with bullous pemphigoid of childhood (BPC) was reported. The characteristics of BPC antigen were studied by immunofluorescent technique using the serum of this patient with variously treated normal human skin as substrate. This study showed that her BPC antigen was quite similar to bullous pemphigoid antigen seen in adult patients and that this BPC antigen was differed from epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) antigen.
