Abstract

The case is reported of a 56‐year‐old man with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) who developed such severe involvement of the upper respiratory tract that a tracheostomy had to be performed. Control of his disease was ultimately obtained with cyclosporin and the use of this drug in EBA is reviewed.
