TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Epidermolysis bullosa misdiagnosed as child abuse. A report of 3 cases JO - South African medical journal SAMJ A1 - Winship, I. M. A1 - Winship, W. S. SP - 369 EP - 370 VL - 73 IS - 6 N2 - Three cases of epidermolysis bullosa are reported; the typical skin lesions were misdiagnosed as non-accidental injury to the children. Awareness of the manifestations of this uncommon genodermatosis, as well as the wearing of identifying Medic Alert discs, should prevent this inappropriate diagnostic stigmatization.
