Jennifer Bates Epidermolysis Bullosa University of Southern Indiana Epidermolysis Bullosa Epidermolysis Bullosa is an umbrella term for a group of skin disorders that involve fragile skin and mucosa that blister for no apparent reason. These skin disorders are passed down genetically (Sarkar, Bansal, Garg, 2011). Epidermolysis is a rare disease but there have been many efforts of research to help aid in the prevention and management of this disease. Clinical Manifestations
Impetigo is a skin infection that occurs in young children ages 2-6, which is why it is called school sores. It characterized as a highly contagious bacterial infection. Children account for 70% of all cases of impetigo. It is most common in closed areas such as schools, daycares, and barracks. Impetigo can be caused by Group A streptococcus and can sometimes occur in adults who have skin conditions such as eczema. Conditions that also cause impetigo include chickenpox, insect bites, burns, dermatitis
Chickenpox, Adult Chickenpox is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The infection causes an itchy rash that turns into blisters, which eventually scab over.

Chickenpox can be very serious for adults. Complications of chickenpox include: • Pneumonia. • Skin infection. • Brain infection (encephalitis)

How Blister Agents Changed Our Equipment We, as CBRN soldiers, can trace our corps roots back to World War I, where chemical agents were widely used by both the allied and German forces. One chemical used was called mustard gas (H). Mustard gas is a type of blister agent that causes large blister (vesicles) on the skin, lungs and eyes of those exposed to it. According to Heller (1984), when mustard gas was introduced on the battlefield soldiers were unaware that they were even exposed. Unlike

Further symptoms include fatigue, high fever, headache, stiff neck, extreme illness, very red and warm rashes and a loss of appetite. (NCIRD, 2016). The Varicella-Zoster virus spreads by coming in contact with the particles coming from blisters of an infected
during oral sex. Upon entering a cell, the infection does not cause any symptoms. A person who displays flu-like symptoms with HSV is highly infectious. If the virus destroys the host cell during replication, sores or blisters filled with fluid appear. Scabs form over the sores or blisters once the fluid is absorbed, then

It can be sub-classified based on the location of the lesions in the epidermis. Pemphigus vulgaris is considered to be one of the deep
