A case of pretibial epidermolysis bullosa is presented and the literature is reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

DEB Subtypes Features Dominant generalised DEB Generalised blistering present at birth Blistering becomes localised to hands, feet, elbow or knees as the child grows older and in response to friction Small white spots called milia are often present at [dermnetnz.org]

• Nail Abnormality

  The LOC syndrome is characterized by localized blistering and scarring, particularly on the face and neck, in association with upper airway disease activity and nail abnormalities [ 8, 9 ]. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

• Papule

  The histology of the lichenoid papules showed amyloid deposition in the papillary dermis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  A 12-year-old female with low intelligent quotient presented with intensely pruritic multiple violaceous papules which were coalescent at areas on both the shins. Histopathological examination showed epidermis displaying focal thinning. [ijpd.in]

• Pruritus

  The intense pruritus contributes to the formation of lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Bradykinin possibly interacting with other mediators might be responsible for the severe pruritus. [e-ijd.org]

  Some patients complain of pruritus. Healing of blisters is associated with hypertrophic scarring and milia formation. Dystrophy of both fingernails and toenails is characteristic. [orpha.net]

• Eruptions

  The patient was a 40-year-old Japanese woman who presented a blistering eruption in the pretibial area with flat violaceous-brown lichenoid papules. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Teeth show severe enamel defects, fail to erupt normally• Nails are dystropic and frequently missing• Lesions heal with atrophic scarring, sometimes post inflammatory hypopigmentation or depigmentation 33. • Pigmented nevi common• Alopecia affects [slideshare.net]

  It is therefore an extremely useful clinical finding, although it cannot be used as a diagnostic tool until after the primary teeth have erupted. Figure 5 Rather profound enamel pitting in a patient with JEB. There are two major JEB subtypes. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

• Pruritic Rash

  Case report A 53-year-old Singaporean Chinese first presented to the National Skin Centre, Singapore, 14 years ago with severely pruritic rashes on the lower limbs. [ijdvl.com]

• Suggestibility

  A lodscore of 4.71 at e = 0 was obtained, suggesting linkage with COL7A1. Heterozygosity for a COL7A1 mutation most proba- bly causes EB in this family. [dokumen.tips]

  Conclusion: These results are suggestive for an autosomal semidominant model of inheritance with incomplete penetrance and variable expression for the identified mutation. [hal.archives-ouvertes.fr]

  Features were suggestive of pretibial DEB. Since it was associated with intense itching, the lesion was termed as pretibial DEB pruriginosa which has combined elements of exclusive pretibial lesions and intense itching. [ijpd.in]

  Individual lesions, which tend to be papular or plaque-like, are often violaceous, suggesting the clinical diagnosis of lichen planus. Some patients complain of pruritus. [orpha.net]

• Irritability

  Allergies, irritants, your genetic makeup, and certain diseases and immune system problems can cause rashes, hives, and other skin conditions. Many skin problems, such as acne, also affect your appearance. [icdlist.com]

  Maintain a cool environment and avoid overheating Use foam padding or sheepskins to help reduce friction on pieces of furniture such as beds, chairs and infant car seats Choose clothing (including nappies) and footwear that is light, has no irritating [dermnetnz.org]

  For patients, insult is thus added to injury and they feel abandoned, neglected, and frustrated. [books.google.de]

• Lymphocytic Infiltrate

  The dermis may show moderately dense lymphocytic infiltrate. The keratinous cysts have been linked to be of eccrine origin. [10] The mainstay of treatment for this condition includes prevention of trauma and local wound care. [ijpd.in]

  There was mild interstitial and perivascular polymorpho-lymphocytic infiltrate in the upper and mid-dermis. Milia were also observed in few sections. He could not afford the cost of immmunofluorescence or molecular studies. [ispub.com]

Because skin blisters are the initial manifestation of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), patients invariably present to the dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. [books.google.de]

The demarcation of the antigens in the roof of the blister suggests cleavage below the lamina densa There are no effective treatments nor cure for EB. The treatments include multidisciplinary health care and social well-being. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Interdisciplinary management and treatment The objective of treatment of EB is a quality of life as normal as possible; causal treatment of EB including gene therapy is still not available [Ferrari et al. 2006]. [med-college.de]

Their prognosis mainly depends on adequate nutrition and hence on their dental status. Classification and pathogenesis of EB EB is classified by clinical, genetic and, above all, ultra-structural criteria. [med-college.de]

• Bistering in mouth is mild and teeth normal• Perianal lesions – intense pain• Clinically often impossible to distinguish from Dominant DEB• Good long term prognosis 50. [slideshare.net]

Prognosis varies considerably and is based on both EB subtype and the overall health of the patient. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

[…] fibrils. 27 DEB is characterized by abnormal fibrils and blister formation beneath the lamina densa of the dermoepidermal junction. 28 The ultrastructural findings of skin in DEB often reflect the severity of clinical disease and can be an indicator of prognosis [nature.com]

Etiology Pretibial DEB is caused by mutations within the type VII collagen gene ( COL7A1 ). Mutations in this gene lead to an alteration of function or to reduced amounts of collagen VII. [orpha.net]
