Description : Transient bullous dermolysis of the newborn is a rare form of dystrophic epidermolysis
bullosa (DEB) that presents with neonatal skin blistering but usually improves markedly
during early life and even remits completely. Skin biopsies reveal abnormal intraepidermal
accumulation of type VII collagen, which results in poorly constructed anchoring fibrils
and a sublamina densa plane of blister formation (summary by Fassihi et al., 2005).;
