Abstract: The article presents a case study of a 3-month-old male infant with the epidermolysis bullosa (EB). His immunofluorescence examination of a skin biopsy revealed a patchy, reticular labelling extending from the cutaneous basement membrane zone (BMZ) to the papillary dermis. The article discusses the Kindler syndrome (KS) with skin atrophy.
