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

The disease was diagnosed after considerable delay in a large Belgian family and was remarkable for its late age at onset and its misleading clinical presentation in the proband, which strongly resembled keratosis lichenoides chronica. [biblio.ugent.be]

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]

• Disability

  The lesions were intensely pruritic to disturb the child who was already slightly disabled with low IQ. PEB shows appreciable clinical overlap with another rarely described DEB subset, DEB-Pr. [ijpd.in]

  Severe clinical phenotypes are further complicated by mutilating pseudosyndactyly of hands and feet with contractures and progressive disablement. [doi.org]

• Blister

  The histology of the blister revealed a subepidermal bulla with antibodies bound to basement membrane antigens on the blister roof by immunoflourescent mapping. Electron microscopy revealed a blister cleavage plane below the lamina densa. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• 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]

  In our case, the patient also had, besides these lesions, violaceous polygonal flat papules on the lower limbs and abdomen, similar to lichen planus. [scielo.br]

• Pruritus

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

  In the reported case, the lack of control of the pruritus with symptomatic medications led to initiation of phototherapy with narrowband UVB, with improvement of the pruritus and of the lesions. [scielo.br]

  UVB phototherapy tried in one patient had worsened generalized pruritus 2. [ispub.com]

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

  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]

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. [scielo.br]

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]

The prognosis was explained to the patient and he was given symptomatic treatment. [e-ijd.org]

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]

Prevention It's not possible to prevent epidermolysis bullosa. But you can take steps to help prevent blisters and infection. Handle your child gently. Your infant or child needs cuddling, but be very gentle. [mayoclinic.org]

Your skin Holds body fluids in, preventing dehydration Keeps harmful microbes out, preventing infections Helps you feel things like heat, cold, and pain Keeps your body temperature even Makes vitamin D when the sun shines on it Anything that irritates [icdlist.com]

Therapy should be directed toward prevention of skin trauma to avoid new blister formation, prevention of secondary bacterial infection, aggressive treatment of infection when it occurs, measures to improve wound healing, maintenance of good nutrition [nature.com]

Management• Blistering becomes less frequent as age advances• Prevention of trauma• Prevention of infection• Avoidance of provocating factors• Treatment of complications• Usually a team approach 56. • Genetic councilling Gold standard is identification [slideshare.net]

When necessary, treatment with oral and topical medications may be prescribed by your doctor to assist healing or prevent complications. The following are some general measures used in caring for a patient with EB. [dermnetnz.org]
