✦ Synopsis

SUMMARY

A 69‐year‐old woman presented with pneumonia and subacute bacterial endocarditis. Nine days after intravenous vancomycin and ciprofloxacin were commenced, the patient developed a bullous mucocutaneous eruption. Clinical presentation and histopathology were consistent with drug‐induced linear IgA bullous disease (LABD). The patient’s lesions resolved with cessation of antibiotics. A review of the features of drug‐induced LABD and the drugs that have been implicated are presented.
