Epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria letalis

Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria letalis is a rare hereditary skin disorder. The skin lesions develop after birth, and eventually lead to death in infancy. The present study indicates that bullous lesions in the skin are not the only abnormality as similar lesions have been found in bronchioles and other findings also indicate probable involvement of the extra-hepatic bile ducts.
