Abstract
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a group of inherited Bullous disorders characterized by formation of blistering following minor trauma (Nikolksy Sign), healing with scarring. It is caused by one or more mutations in at least one of 20 different genes that synthesize structural proteins that are involve in adherence of epidermal to dermis. We observed and cared for a 2 day old female neonate with low birth weight, normal antenatal history who presented at birth with spontaneous bullous skin eruptions to parts of skin of the upper and lower limbs which ruptured with minor mechanical trauma. She had conservative care and even though there was lack of finances for genetic test to pinpoint the mutated gene the wounds healed with acceptable scar. We are glad to share this rare condition with the scientific world.
