Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare disorder characterized by inherited skin adhesion
defects with abnormal disruption of the epidermal–dermal junction in response to
mechanical trauma. Our aim was to investigate a set of cytokine levels in serum samples
from patients suffering from epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), dystrophic epidermolysis
bullosa (DEB), and healthy controls (HCs), exploring their potential correlations with antiskin
autoantibody titers and disease activity. Forty patients afferent to the Dermatological Ward of …
