Managing pregnancy in a patient with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: A case report
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare, heritable skin disease that encompasses several subtypes, which vary widely in presentation and prognosis. One subtype, Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB), is especially rare and debilitating. It occurs due to a mutation in the COL7A1 gene that encodes for type VII collagen leading to chronic, diffuse skin and mucosal blistering. Given the rarity of the disease, guidelines for treatment of pregnant patients with RDEB do not currently exist. This case describes the pregnancy course of a 21-year-old female with RDEB.
