Childhood Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita: Report of a Chinese Case


Abstract:  Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a rare, acquired, subepidermal blistering disease characterized by autoantibodies directed against type VII collagen, the major component of anchoring fibrils. We report a 5-year-old Chinese boy who presented with extensive lesions consisting of disseminated pruritic vesicles and tense blisters. The diagnosis of EBA was confirmed by histopathology, immunofluorescence, and immunoblotting analysis. The disease was controlled with a combination of prednisone and dapsone.
