Schlueer, Anna-Barbara; Schwieger-Briel, Agnes; Theiler, Martin; Neuhaus, Kathrin; Schiestl, Clemens; Weibel, Lisa (2020). Negative pressure wound treatment in a neonate with epidermolysis bullosa simplex severe generalized: A case report. Pediatric Dermatology, 37(6):1218-1220.

Abstract

Negative pressure wound treatment (NPWT) is very useful for the treatment of chronic or deep wounds and in the setting of skin grafting. Due to the need for adhesive dressings, this treatment is rarely attempted in patients with skin fragility secondary to hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (EB). We present a neonate with EB simplex, severe generalized in a critical clinical state where NPWT was successfully applied and describe the measures taken to avoid any further skin damage. This case is of clinical importance to physicians and health care staff treating patients with this rare disease where additional therapeutic measures for the treatment of chronic wounds are scarce.
