The onset of linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is generally spontaneous, but a number of cases of LABD have been reported either following drug exposure or in association with malignancies. We describe a patient who developed a vesicular eruption shortly after an irritant dermatitis caused by the contact with a detergent containing sodium hypochlorite. Direct immunofluorescence revealed linear deposits of IgA and C3 in the epidermal basement membrane. The patient's serum contained IgA that immunoblotted a 180-kD polypeptide in extracts of human keratinocytes. The patient responded promptly to therapy with dapsone. We suggest a possible pathogenetic relationship between the chemical dermatitis and LABD in this patient.
