The use of cultured allogenic keratinocyte grafting in a patient with epidermolysis bullosa simplex.
[epidermolysis bullosa simplex]
Epidermolysis
bullosa
(
EB
)
is
a
rare
genetic
disease
that
is
known
for
continuous
skin
blistering
caused
by
minor
trauma
.
The
skin
blisters
and
bullae
that
develop
often
cause
skin
defects
.
There
is
no
definitive
treatment
for
EB
,
only
symptomatic
relief
.
We
report
our
experience
with
cultured
allogenic
keratinocyte
grafting
in
a
newborn
patient
with
EB
simplex
who
had
unhealed
raw
surfaces
and
was
not
a
skin
grafting
candidate
.
The
skin
lesions
of
the
patient
were
covered
with
cultured
allogenic
keratinocyte
grafts
and
re
-epithelialized
quickly
with
no
scarring
.
Allogenic
keratinocyte
grafting
reduced
pain
and
produced
noticeable
improvements
in
the
unhealed
wounds
.
We
think
that
allogenic
keratinocyte
grafting
can
play
an
important
role
in
the
management
of
patients
with
EB
simplex
.
