| Popis: | Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare inherited disease, which manifests as mucocutaneous blisters from minimal trauma. According to the genetic mutation, the site of histologic cleavage and the sites of lesion appearance, the epidermolysis bullosa type can be classified as simple, junctional, or dystrophic. The diagnosis made by electronic microscopy is fundamental for the institution of multidisciplinary treatment. A case of a 5-year-old child admitted to pediatric, dermatologic, and dental care since the age of 2 years, diagnosed with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, associated with anemia, severe malnutrition, low weight and height, and presenting oral cavity caries, calculus, and mucosal ulcers. Dental follow-up is of extreme importance for these patients to provide oral health and relieve symptoms caused by large numbers of ulcers, allowing better nutrition and quality of life. |
