We present the ninth case of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) reported in children. As in most of the other childhood cases, the 7-year-old boy described herein had an acute, widespread, inflammatory vesiculobullous eruption with oral involvement. Indirect immunofluorescence on salt-split skin as well as Western immunoblot confirmed the diagnosis of EBA. The patient responded to combined prednisone and dapsone, and was maintained with dapsone alone.
