Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria is an uncommon skin disease which is manifest at birth or in infancy. It is characterized by blister formation occuring spontaneously or after friction or slight trauma. Recently, we experienced a case of epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria in one day old newborn infant, who was developed bullae on the neck, abdomen, both extremities and buttock. A brief review of literature was made.
