Abstract |
Epidermolysis bullosa letalis is an uncommon skin disease which is manifest at birth or in infancy.
It is characterized by blister formation occurring spontaneously or after friction or slight trauma.
This blistering disorder has the most severe clinical course, so that death may occur in infancy.
Recently, we experienced a case of epidermolysis bullosa letalis in one day old newborn infant, who
was developed bullae on both hand, foot and scalp.
The diagnosis was confirmed by skin biopsy with light and electron microscope.
A brief review of literature was made.
