Key features

ย„Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) encompasses multiple clinically distinctive disorders that share three major features: genetic transmission, mechanical fragility of the skin, and blister formation

ย„There are four major forms of inherited EB โ€“ EB simplex, junctional

EB, dystrophic EB, and Kindler EB โ€“ which differ in the ultrastructural site within which cutaneous blisters form

ย„EB may be diagnosed by immunofluorescence antigenic mapping, transmission electron microscopy, or genetic analysis

ย„Any epithelial-lined or epithelial-covered organ is at potential risk for involvement in the more severe forms of inherited EB

ย„In the absence of specific therapy, management is primarily focused on prevention of blisters, wound care, and treatment of extracutaneous complications
