Oral Manifestations of a Patient with Epidermolysis Bullosa by Nusrat Nazir in BJSTR
Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a chronic autoimmune bullous
disease characterized by the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies at
the level of basement membrane. It is rare in humans and animals with an
incidence ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 new cases per million and per year.
This dermatological condition is a severe autoimmune disease. Scarring
of the extensor surfaces of the extremities, hands and feet are typical;
milia occur frequently; and nails often become thick and dystrophic or
are lost. The disorder affects both sexes equally and occurs in all
racial
and ethnic groups.
