Is adermatoglyphia an additional feature of Kindler Syndrome?

Kindler's syndrome (KS) is a rare inherited skin disease characterized by acral blistering, photosensitivity, progressive poikiloderma, and cutaneous atrophy along with different types of mucosal involvement. We hereby report KS in two siblings. The case is being reported for its rarity and for emphasizing the importance of considering this condition in the differential diagnosis of disorders that may cause blistering, cutaneous atrophy, and/or poikilodermatous skin changes. Besides, the presentation of the disease in two of the members of the same family makes the case even more interesting.

This rare genodermatosis represents combination of clinic features of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa and poikiloderma congenitale ( 3 ). The first case report of genitourinary tract involvement in EB was published in 1973 by Kretkowski ( 4 ).…”

ARTICLE INfO ______________________________________________________________ ______________________Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare inherited muco-cutaneous disorder that sometimes presents with genitourinary involvement. Herein we report the case of an 11-year-old girl with a history of junctional epidermolysis bullosa who was admitted with urological symptoms.
