A Case of Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Treated with Meek Technique and Cultured Epithelial Autografts
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) causes extensive blisters and erosions due to a genetic abnormality, significantly reducing patients' quality of life. Recently, transplantation of reversion-mutated mosaicized skin has shown promise as a radical cure. In 2019, the use of cultured epithelial autograft for DEB was approved in Japan.
