Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (also known as "Linear IgA dermatosis") is frequently associated with medication exposure, especially vancomycin, with men and women being equally affected. Linear IgA dermatosis is a rare immune-mediated blistering skin disease that may be divided into two types, chronic bullous disease of childhood and adult linear IgA disease.
