Agree, most probably IgA linear dermatosis due to Vancomycin administration.

Has to be a drug induced sub-epidermal bullous disease. Need DIF to see what the drug is trying to mimic!

Drug induced linear IgA appears most likely.

Linear IgA bullous dermatosis. Pt was on vancomycin. Bullous LE is an excellent idea. Lupus band test is negative.
