Urinary Tract Involvement in Epidermolysis Bullosa

Epidermolysis bullosa is an uncommon skin disease which manifests itself at birth or in early infancy. It is characterized by blister formation occurring spontaneously or after friction or slight trauma.1 Involvement of the skin and mucous membranes is the chief clinical feature in this disease. Various systems of the body are affected either primarily or secondary to bullae and scarring of their mucous membranes. These include the conjunctiva of the eye, the mouth, the larynx, the esophagus, and the lung secondary to dysphagic pneumonitis.2 Herein is reported the first case of genitourinary tract involvement found in this disease.
