Remission of recalcitrant epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) with colchicine monotherapy.

Abstract
A 42-year-old woman with widespread recalcitrant epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) responded well to colchicine monotherapy after attempts to control her disease with other modalities failed. These included dapsone, tetracycline, prednisolone, and combination of cyclophosphamide/azathioprine with dexamethasone 'pulse therapy'. The useful role of colchicine in controlling some difficult cases of EBA, a therapeutically problematic condition, is stressed.
