EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA SIMPLEX: A CASE REPORT

Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex (EBS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the formation of blisters and skin lesions in response to minor trauma, such as friction or scratching. A 3-year-old female with a pre-existing diagnosis of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex (EBS) presented with fever and decreased oral intake, accompanied by concurrent dengue and suspected streptococcal infections. Her medical history was marked by recurrent respiratory tract infections, anemia, and severe acute malnutrition. The patient's condition was further complicated by severe anemia and pyrexia. A comprehensive treatment regimen was initiated, comprising intravenous uids, broad-spectrum antibiotics, antifungals, antipyretics, proton pump inhibitors, vitamin and zinc supplements, and mucolytics. The patient's condition is characterized by fragile skin, recurrent infections, and nutritional decits, which exacerbate her anemia and malnutrition. Multidisciplinary care is crucial to reduce infection recurrence and improve nutritional and developmental outcomes.
