AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE EPIDERMOLYSIS-BULLOSA SIMPLEX - A CASE-REPORT

We report a male child with autosomal recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex presenting at birth. The patient subsequently developed cutane ous atrophy, nail dystrophy, milia and alopecia. He had growth retarda tion and anaemia, but there were no other associated abnormalities. El ectron microscopy showed epidermolytic cleavage. The family history in dicated an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.
