SUMMARY Linear IgA dermatosis with severe arthralgia is a rare clinical syndrome. Streptococcal infection may be important in its pathogenesis. The rash and arthralgia respond to dapsone although additional treatment with non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and/or corticosteroids may be necessary. A case is presented which illustrates these features.
