Pseudosyndactyly – an inflammatory and fibrotic wound healing disorder in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

Abstract

Our results confirm inflammation and fibrosis in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, especially in scars, suggesting major roles for these processes in pseudosyndactyly. Our data therefore suggests the potential use of antiinflammatory and antifibrotic drugs in the prevention of pseudosyndactyly.
