Abstract

Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica (EBD), a subtype of epidermolysis bullosa, is a rare inherited disease characterized by induction of blisters and erosions in skin and mucous membrane by minor or no trauma, which heal with scar formation. Clinical course is more severe in recessive type of EBD than dominant type. We have experienced a case of recessive EBD in a one day old female patient and report her clinical, histopathologic and electronmicroscopic finindings with a brief review of the literature.Recessive, Epidermolysis, Bullosa, Dystrophica
