CONGENITAL BULLOUS EPIDERMOLYSIS
Abstract
Annotation. The article presents data from a clinical case of congenital bullous epidermolysis (CBE) in a newborn. The genetic defect in the child manifested itself by extensive lesions of the skin and its derivatives in the form of large bullae, erosive surfaces, ulcers, with crust formation in some places. Skin defects were more localized in the hands and feet, as well as in the abdomen, back, buttocks, and pelvic area. There were also lesions of oral mucosa and nail plates. The child's condition was evaluated as very serious. The disease had an undulatory character.
There is no specific treatment for CBE. Lethal outcomes due to the development of severe pneumonia, sepsis, shock, dystrophy and other complications are not uncommon. However, proper, timely and comprehensive symptomatic therapy can in some cases significantly improve the condition of the patient.
