Response to Oral Dapsone in a Patient With Generalised Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa
ABSTRACT Dapsone is a potent antibacterial agent used as a first‐line treatment for leprosy and employed also as an anti‐inflammatory agent. Additionally, dapsone is used for a variety of other cutaneous conditions. Herein, we report a case of intermediate junctional epidermolysis bullosa that improved significantly with oral 4,4’‐diamino‐diphenyl ...

Hereditary epidermolysis bullosa [PDF]
SummaryThe term epidermolysis bullosa (EB) includes a group of rare genodermatoses characterized by mutational impairment of the structural and functional integrity of intraepidermal adhesion and dermoepidermal anchorage. Clinically, these disorders are marked by increased skin fragility as well as characteristic mechanically inducible blisters on the ...

Amlexanox Enhances Premature Termination Codon Read-Through in COL7A1 and Expression of Full Length Type VII Collagen: Potential Therapy for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. [PDF]
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare monogenic blistering disorder caused by the lack of functional type VII collagen, leading to skin fragility and subsequent trauma-induced separation of the epidermis from the underlying dermis ...
