[Bullous pemphigoid in childhood].

Bullous pemphigoid is a rather rare disease in childhood. A case report is given about a seven-year-old girl suffering from juvenile bullous pemphigoid and the differential diagnosis is discussed with regard to the other bullous diseases in children. Some clues were noted in the case history of our patient concerning an effective treatment using erythromycin in bullous pemphigoid. A short summary is presented about the theoretical basis with respect to this therapeutical procedure.
