    TLDR A man had two rare autoimmune diseases that might be connected.
    The document reported a case of a 35-year-old Japanese male with combined linear immunoglobulin A/immunoglobulin G bullous dermatosis (LAGBD) and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. The patient exhibited human leukocyte antigen typing of −A24, B52, C*1202, DR*1502, DQ*0601, and immunoblot analysis showed reactivity to both 180- and 230-kDa proteins at the IgA and IgG levels. The authors suggested a possible association between Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and LAGBD due to their common link with autoimmune diseases, although they could not rule out the possibility of coincidence.
