Abstrakt: Introduction: Blistering or vesiculobullous disorders in pediatric population are either immunobullous or mechanobullous. Spectrum was analyzed using demographic details, clinical features, histopathology, direct immunofluorescence (DIF) and Immunofluorescence mapping (IFM).
Methodology: This was a single institution based observational study in children below 18 years. The demographic details were collected using proforma containing particulars of the patient, history, complaints, and other parameters. Punch biopsy of the skin lesion was done. Biopsy samples were examined under light microscope followed by DIF using fluorescent conjugated polyclonal antibody against immunoglobulins IgG, IgM, IgA, and complement C3. The salt-split technique was also used in particular cases. IFM was done using anticytokeratin (CK) 5 & 14, antilaminin 332, anticollagen VII, and anticollagen IV antibodies.
Results: Out of total 50 cases, linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) was the commonest. The average concordance between clinical and final diagnosis (histopathological examination + DIF) was 87.5% and discordance was 12.5%. The agreement between histopathological examination and DIF was found to be substantially significant (κ = 0.6892). IFM depicted epidermolysis bullosa simplex with reduced CK 14 expression, dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa with reduced Collagen VII expression and junctional epidermolysis bullosa with absent laminin 5 expression.
Conclusion: The spectrum of bullous lesions in childhood was properly delineated and subcategorization of EB was done. Histopathological examination showed the hallmarks that were conclusive in most of the cases except in LABD and EB. DIF and IFM proved indispensable in those cases. Thus, DIF is not a substitute for histopathology but complementary to it.
