The journal Turkish Journal of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation has published an article regarding the еpidermolysis bullosa. Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare disease characterised by vesiculobullous lesions with minimal trauma to the skin and mucous membranes.

Therefore, anaesthetic management in patients with EB is a major problem even for experienced anaesthesiologists. The full-text article you can find here.
