Abstract:

EB (Synonyms: “Butterfly children”, “Cotton wool babies” and “Crystal skin children”) is a group of mainly inherited that cause blisters in the skin and mucosal membranes, with an incidence of 20 per million new-borns. It is a result of a defect in anchoring between the epidermis and dermis, resulting in friction and skin fragility. Its severity ranges from mild to lethal. There are three types- Epidermolysis bullosa simplex, junctional epidermolysis bullosa and dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is a chronic subepidermal blistering disease associated with autoimmunity to type VII collagen within anchoring fibril structures that are located at the dermoepidermal junction. No therapy is known and possibly employed so far. What is being researched into is the bone marrow transplantation, and partial effects are achieved with the application of grafts and especially daily care. However, despite everyday intense care provided to patients, deformities or even general dystrophy are very common. Considering the severity of the manifestations, patients rarely live longer than 30 years. They shall present a case of a patient whom they have been following for 19 years so far.
