Abstract excerpt
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) in neonates is often difficult to characterize, both in terms of making a precise diagnosis and in being able to comment accurately on the prognosis for the affected child. We present a case of a neonate with inherited mucocutaneous fragility and failure to thrive and d...
