Epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa
(EB-Pr) is an unusual variant of dystrophic EB. Potential genetic disease modifiers and metabolic factors have been investigated, but thus far no specific insight into this phenotype has emerged. We report an in-depth description of three patients diagnosed as having EB-Pr in whom this particular phenotype developed after scabies
infestation
and dramatically improved after full treatment. This short communication suggests that scabies
infestation
could be one of the important triggering factors for the development of the EB-Pr phenotype.
