چکیده
Immunological mapping, an immunofluorescence technique, is currently the method most used to diagnose and differentiate the principal types of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa, since this technique is capable of determining the level of cleavage of this mechanobullous disease.

Pretibial epidermolysis bullosa is a rare variant of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa characterized by the delayed onset of lesions and their localization. We present two cases, a 35-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man. They clinically had pruritus, nodular prurigo-like or lichenified lesions, violaceous scarring, milia, nail dystrophy and in one case albopapuloid lesions on the trunk. Physica...

متن کاملEpidermolysis bullosa acquisita and Crohn's disease.
A patient with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) associated with Crohn's disease is presented. The clinical, histological and immunological findings were in keeping with previous reports. However, clinically normal skin and mucosa exhibited deposits of IgG and C3 in the basement-membrane zone. These deposits remained unchanged during the treatment period. It is therefore suggested that immu...
متن کاملThe biomolecular and ultrastructural basis of epidermolysis bullosa.
Transmission electron microscopy, immunoelectron microscopy, immunofluorescence and antigenic mapping have improved our understanding of the dermo-epidermal junction. We have reviewed some ultrastructural and biomolecular aspects related to the dermo-epidermal junction. In part, they are implicated in the pathogenesis of a group of hereditary disorders characterized by skin fragility, collectiv...
