Abstrakt: Information about the medical management of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) discussed during the IInd International Symposium on Epidermolysis Bullosa held in Santiago, Chile in 2005 is presented. It has been discussed that all forms of EB are characterized by skin fragility, and therefore wound healing is a major aim of management in all types of the disease. The EB wounds impact adversely on a patient’s quality of life, often resulting in considerable pain and time pressures.
