pidermolysis Bullosa SimplexKoebner: A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Neonatal Medicine and Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex (EBS) has been subclassified into various subtypes on the basis of clinical features and histopathology predominantly into three divisions: Simplex, Junctional and Dystrophic. EBS is characterised by inter-epidermal blistering with minor internal engrossment. It’s always inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and is also the least severe type of EB. More recently a recessive form of EBS has been described. The Koebner type of EBS (EBS-K), also known as the non-dowling meara or more recently the other generalised form, is usually presented at birth and is one of the rare presentations of EBS. Though always present with an extensive family history EBS-K is very rarely associated with de novo mutation.
