A case of dyskeratosis congenita has been documented for the first time in an Indian patient. It began soon after birth with the formation of bullae at traumatic sites, masquerading as epidermolysis bullosa. Nail changes and pigmentary changes appeared simultaneously at the age of 4 years. This seems to be the seventh reported case resulting from a fourth consanguineous marriage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
