Abstract:
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a rare acquired subepidermal blistering disorder associated with autoimmunity to type VII collagen. Although the full clinical spectrum of EBA is still being defined, it is now known that EBA has greater clinical heterogeneity than previously suggested. We describe a patient with EBA which closely approximated the severity of the recessive form of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
