EB Info World
The Children with EB are called "Butterfly Children" because in spite of the extreme fragility of their skin (like a butterfly wing), that blisters at the slightest touch, they take on life and light it up with their bravery.
Simplex
The most common forms of EB are autosomal dominant forms of generalized EB simplex and a localized form of EBS, Weber-Cockayne disease. In generalized EBS, bulla may be widespread but predominate on the extremities. Lesions heal without scarring and although fingernails may shed, they regrow normally. Mucous membranes are generally spared. Blistering tends to lessen by adolescence, and patients have a normal lifespan. Localized EBS, Weber-Cockayne type, often presents in later childhood and adolescence with lesions localized to hands and feet. EBS Dowling-Meara variant, may have severe blistering with significant morbidity and mortality in the first few weeks of life.
