Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare group of inherited mechano-bullous disorders that manifest as blisters or erosions of the skin and in some cases the epithelial lining of other organs, in response to little or no apparent trauma. Based on ultra-structural level at which the split occurs, it is classified into simplex, junctional and dystrophic. Skin biopsy is the investigation of choice, with immunofluorescence to know the level of split. Hereby we report a case of generalized severe epidermolysis bullosa junctional in a neonate.
