Clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of linear IgA bullous dermatosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Linear immunoglobulin A (IgA) bullous dermatosis (LABD), also referred to as chronic bullous disease of childhood (CBDC), is characterized by the linear deposition of IgA antibodies within the dermal-epidermal junction. While dapsone is typically recommended, alternative modalities may be considered based on accessibility, severity, and prior response to therapy. This review aims to provide an updated overview of the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes for LABD/CBDC. A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE and Embase in adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Results from 650 articles, encompassing 1,627 cases, revealed 52% of cases were male. Vesicles (49%) and bullae (47%) were the predominant morphologies occurring across multiple body locations simultaneously, such as the legs (52%), abdomen (49%), and back (49%). Vancomycin was the most reported causative medication; however, most cases were not drug-induced. Dapsone was the primary therapy for LABD/CBDC while biologics were reported with higher complete response rates. Other immunomodulators, such as IVIG and mycophenolate mofetil, were reported to have comparative responses in CBDC cases, but lower response rates in LABD cases. Colchicine and amoxicillin-clavulanate had lower response rates overall. The variety of treatment options underscores management challenges due to the variable clinical presentations and underlying causes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
