11 sty 2024 · Despite the challenges in formally diagnosing epidermolysis bullosa in resource-poor settings, robust epidemiological studies agree that epidermolysis bullosa prevalence is around 10 per one million population, with incidence at around 20 per one million live births. While epidermolysis bullosa appears not to be sex-preferential, trials ...
For example, in 2002, the prevalence of EBS overall and localized EBS had increased considerably by 30.4% and 25.5%, respectively, whereas the prevalence of generalized intermediate EBS declined by 76.7% as a result of later subclassification of some of those patients into other subtypes.
