Blisters over burn scars in a child.

R Pedragosa, S Serrano, J Carol-Murillo

    The British Journal of Dermatology
    |October 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    This case study describes mechanical dermatitis in an infant, where microtrauma caused recurring blisters on a healed burn scar. Further investigation revealed sub-epidermal blisters with fibrin deposits.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Burn scars in infants can present unique challenges.
    • Understanding the etiology of post-burn blistering is crucial for appropriate management.

    Observation:

    • An 11-month-old infant developed recurrent blisters over a previously healed burn scar.
    • The infant's general condition remained stable throughout the observation period.

    Findings:

    • Clinical, immunological, histological, and ultrastructural studies confirmed mechanical dermatitis caused by microtrauma.
    • Electron microscopy identified sub-epidermal blisters with underlying fibrin deposits.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights mechanical dermatitis as a potential complication of burn scars in infants.
    • Microtrauma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of blistering disorders in pediatric patients with burn scars.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and management of mechanical dermatitis is warranted.
