Abstract

unctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a rare hereditary and mechanobullous disease characterized by blistering and erosions of the skin in response to even minor trauma. We report here in a case of JEB in a 1-day-old female newborn. She was delivered by cesarean section, with normal Apgar scores and body status. Bullous and erosive lesions had distributed on the extremities, hands and feet localized at the sites of pressure since birth, and, thereafter, tended to improve gradually, with no scars. The presented case seemed to be a recessive, benign type considering the absence of family history with dinstinctive histopathologic and electron microscopic findings.
