Objective: to analyze how the family care with children and adolescents with Epidermolysis Bullosa is performed. Method: integrative literature review, held in September 2018 with pre-defined protocol, whose eligibility criteria contemplated eight studies in the final sample, which responded to the following question: How is the family care with children and adolescents with Epidermolysis Bullosa performed?

Conclusion: the scientific literature little addresses the experience of care, within the family, dedicated to their children affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
