ABSTRACT

Epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) pruriginosa is a type of dystrophic DEB wherein there is a mutation in gene COL VII A1, which encodes anchoring fibril protein Type VII collagen. Clinically, it is characterized by intensely pruritic linear lichenified or nodular prurigo like lesions over extremities with milia, nail dystrophy, and in some cases albopapuloid lesions over trunk. Here we report a case of an adult onset DEB pruriginosa with typical clinical features which was confirmed by histopathology. In any severely itchy skin lesion over pretibial region, DEB pruriginosa should be kept in mind, and DEB pruriginosa can occur for the first time in adulthood also.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Bart Syndrome is a rare inherited skin blistering disorder. It is also known as congenital transient mechano-bullous dermatosis and is one of the lesser known presentations of epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Case report: The objective of this report is to present a case of Bart Syndrome in a 3 day old newborn female baby. The skin lesions showed denuded areas with bullae rupturing easily to reveal painful eroded areas. Eroded lesions were distributed over the hands, feet, chest and on the face over the cheeks bilaterally. The lips were erythematous, eroded with tissue tags. Eroded, crustated lesions were seen on the labial mucosa and anterior palate. Histopathological examination revealed split localized to the epidermis. The epidermal layer above the spilt appeared to be normal. The basement membrane was intact, along with normal underlying connective tissue. Discussion: Management consisted of decompression of blisters followed by topical antibiotics. Oral corticosteroids were given for control of blistering, since they reduce collagenase activity. Avoidance of trauma is essential aspect of management: baby was nursed with care to prevent occurrence of new lesions. Therapy and counseling sessions were scheduled for the parents.


Introdução: A Síndrome de Bart é uma rara desordem hereditária cutânea bolhosa. Também conhecida comdermatose congênita transiente mecano-bolhosa, é uma das apresentações menos conhecidas de epidermólisebolhosa (EB). Relato de caso: O objetivo deste relato é apresentar um caso de Síndrome de Bart em um neonato(com três dias) do sexo feminino. As lesões de pele caracterizavam-se por áreas desnudas com lesões bolhosas derompimento fácil, revelando áreas erodidas dolorosas. As lesões erodidas estavam distribuídas pelos pés, mãos,peito e face, sobre as regiões malares. Os lábios estavam eritematosos e erodidos. Lesões erodidas e crostosasforam observadas na mucosa labial e no palato anterior. O exame histopatológico revelou fenda localizada naepiderme. A camada epidérmica acima da fenda apresentava normalidade. A membrana basal estava intactae o tecido conjuntivo subjacente normal. Discussão: O tratamento das lesões consistiu na descompressão dasbolhas seguida de uso de antibióticos tópicos. Foram administrados corticosteróides orais, para controle daslesões bolhosas, uma vez que estes reduzem a atividade da colagenase. Evitar o trauma é um aspecto essencialno tratamento desses casos. Assim, o bebê era manejado com cuidado para evitar novas lesões. Foram agendadassessões de terapia e aconselhamento aos pais.

ABSTRACT

A epidermólise bolhosa é uma doença mucocutânea caracterizada pela formação de bolhas na pele e mucosa, que surgem espontaneamente ou sob trauma insignificante. A doença pode ser genética ou adquirida, sendo classificada em simples, juncional e distrófica. O artigo apresenta um protocolo de atendimento odontológico direcionado ao indivíduo com epidermólise bolhosa distrófica recessiva generalizada, bem como alguns cuidados que devem ser considerados no tratamento odontológico.

ABSTRACT

Epidermólise bolhosa (EB) é um conjunto de afecções bolhosas, de caráter hereditário, com diferentes quadros clínicos e diferentes modos de transmissão genética. Os indivíduos evoluem com bolhas na pele e mucosas, que surgem espontaneamente ou após mínimos traumatismos. OBJETIVO: Descrever as manifestações otorrinolaringológicas, as complicações esofágicas relacionadas à EB e a experiência na conduta de pacientes com estenose esofágica decorrente da EB. CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODO: Estudo descritivo de 60 pacientes com EB, atendidos de 1999 a 2006, no serviço de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço do Hospital X, centro de referência para EB. RESULTADOS: Dos 60 pacientes com idade média de 14,5 anos, 28 (46,6 por cento) eram mulheres e 32 (53,4 por cento) homens. Oito (13,4 por cento) tinham o diagnóstico de EB simples, 51 (85 por cento) EB distrófica e um (1,6 por cento) caso de EB adquirida. Lábios, boca, língua e pavilhão auricular foram os locais mais acometidos (32 pacientes - 53,3 por cento). Disfagia foi encontrada em 28 pacientes (46,6 por cento). Após dilatação do esôfago todos apresentaram remissão do sintoma. CONCLUSÃO: EB é uma doença rara e os pacientes devem ser encaminhados para tratamento em centros de referência. Portanto, é fundamental que os médicos envolvidos com os cuidados de pacientes com EB conheçam as condutas necessárias para melhorar a qualidade do tratamento sem prejuízos adicionais.


Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of skin diseases with different clinical manifestations and varied inheritance patterns. Blisters may appear spontaneously or following minimal trauma to the skin or mucosa. AIM: this paper aims to describe the otorhinolaryngological manifestations and esophageal complications related to EB, and the experience in treating patients with esophageal stenosis secondary to this disease. MATERIALS AND METHOD: this descriptive study enrolled 60 patients with EB seen from June 1999 to December 2006 at the Head and Neck Surgery Service of X Hospital, a reference center for EB. RESULTS: the patients' mean age was 14.5 years. Twenty-eight (46.6 percent) were females and 32 (53.4 percent) were males. Eight (13.4 percent) were diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa simplex, while 51 (85 percent) had epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica; one (1.6 percent) patient had one acquired EB. Lips, mouth, tongue and ears were the most frequently involved sites (32 patients - 53.3 percent). Dysphagia was found in 28 patients (46.6 percent). After esophageal dilatation the symptoms subsided. CONCLUSION: EB is a rare disease and patients must be sent for treatment at reference centers. Physicians treating patients for EB must be aware of the measures required to improve the quality of the treatment provided without putting the patients in harm's way.

ABSTRACT

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) consists of a group of genetic hereditary disorders in which patients frequently present fragile skin and mucosa that form blisters following minor trauma. More than 20 subtypes of EB have been recognized in the literature. Specific genetic mutations are well characterized for most the different EB subtypes and variants. The most common oral manifestations of EB are painful blisters affecting all the oral surfaces. Dental treatment for patients with EB consists of palliative therapy for its oral manifestations along with typical restorative and periodontal procedures. The aim of this article is to describe two dental clinical treatments of recessive dystrophic EB cases and their specific clinical manifestations. The psychological intervention required during the dental treatment of these patients is also presented.

ABSTRACT

La epidermólisis bulosa distrófica (EBD) es una patología cutánea, que frecuentemente se asocia a la presencia de cánceres epidermoides cutáneos de conducta agresiva. El tratamiento quirúrgico constituye la principal modalidad de tratamiento, debido a la presencia de metástasis en forma temprana, debe consolidarse con quimioterapia o radioterapia. El uso de estas modalidades se dificulta, debido a la patología cutánea de base. Se presenta el manejo con inmunoterapia utilizando una mezcla de citocinas naturales (IRX-2), en un paciente de 27 años con cáncer epidermoide de lengua recurrente, metastásico a cuello, en quien, por sus condiciones generales, no fue posible administrar otras modalidades terapéuticas. El uso de inmunoterapia indujo una respuesta objetiva parcial y paliación sintomática sin toxicidad. El uso de este tratamiento pudiera ser considerado como manejo paliativo en pacientes con cáncer epidermoide (CE) asociado a EBD.
