As epidermólises bolhosas (EB) hereditárias são um grupo heterogéneo de doenças bolhosas geneticamente determinadas. Caracterizam-se clinicamente por fragilidade mucocutânea que se traduz pela formação de 1,2 bolhas após traumatismos mínimos. Nas formas distróficas, principalmente na forma recessiva, as lesões cutâneas evoluem de forma crónica levando à formação de múltiplas cicatrizes atróficas e estão associa...

Neutropenia.

The authors reviewed the subject of neutropenia in what concern its definition, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis and principles of treatment. A new pathophysiological classification of neutropenia and an evaluation of neutropenic patients are proposed.
