Abstract
The case is reported of a 56-year-old man with epidermolysis bullosa a cquisita (EBA) who developed such severe involvement of the upper resp iratory tract that a tracheostomy had to be performed. Control of his disease was ultimately obtained with cyclosporin and the use of this d rug in EBA is reviewed.
