THE USE OF ORAL KETAMINE FOR ANALGESIA WITH DRESSING CHANGE IN AN INFANT WITH EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA: REPORT OF A CASE

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) describes a spectrum of disease from occasional bullae and callus formation to a debilitating life-threatening condition. In this study, we report the use of intravenous ketamine given orally to an infant with a phenotypically severe form of EB simplex, Dowling-Meara subtype, to achieve analgesia during painful dressing changes.
