EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA DYSTROPHICA - A CASE REPORT

SHYLAJA D JEANDOUNNA

Abstract


Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of inherited diseases that are characterised by
blistering lesions on the skin and mucous membranes. These may occur anywhere on the body but
most commonly appear at sites of friction and minor trauma such as the feet and hands. Blisters may
also occur on internal organs, such as the oesophagus, stomach and respiratory tract, without any
apparent friction.We report a seven year old girl with a severe form of epidermolysis bullosa
dystrophica.
