A Case Report of an Infant with Autosomal Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: COL7A1 Gene Mutations at C2005T and G7922A
DISCUSSION Congenital epidermolysis bullosa must be differentiated from other diseases such as staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS), neonatal impetigo, congenital bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma, congenital syphilis, and neonatal herpes simplex.
