O penfigoide bolhoso é uma dermatose bolhosa autoimune subepidérmica, incomum na infância. Relatamos um caso de lactente feminina, com 3 meses de idade, que apresentou dados clínicos e laboratoriais confirmatórios para o diagnóstico de penfigoide bolhoso. Os autores utilizaram a coloração de imuno-histoquímica para o colágeno tipo IV que permitiu a diferenciação do penfigoide bolhoso de outras buloses subepidérmicas. Oportunamente, revisamos as características clínicas, imunológicas, terapêuticas e prognósticas da patologia na criança.

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering dermatosis that is uncommon in childhood. We report a case of a female infant, 3 months old, which presented clinical and laboratory data for the confirmatory diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. The authors used immunohistochemical staining for collagen type IV that allowed the differentiation of bullous pemphigoid from other subepidermal bullous diseases. Opportunely we review the clinical, immunological, therapeutic and prognostic features of this pathology in children.
