- generalized at birth - later infancy - periorificial granulation tissue (mouth, eyes, nares) - dystrophic nails or often lost during infancy - tooth enamel pitting - erosions of all stratified sq epithelial tissues (nasal, conjunctival, esophageal, tracheal, laryngeal, rectal, urethral) - tracheolaryngeal stenosis or obstruction - horseness in early infancy is ominous sign - failure to thrive, growth retardation - mixed anemia, sepsis (common lethal)
27
Non-Herlitz JEB?
