Acta Dermatovenerol Alp Pannonica Adriat. 2014;23(2):33-4. doi: 10.15570/actaapa.2014.8.

Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation is a rare subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex that is characterized by nonscarring blistering and reticulated hyperpigmentation. We report the first Slovenian case of a newborn with blisters, who later presented with hyperpigmented macules in the first year of life. A missense p.Pro25Leu mutation in the KRT5 gene was confirmed.
