Abstract

We report for the first time a patient with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, who developed dilated cardiomyopathy and recovered completely within 2 months. The benign course, the previous influenza-like syndrome, the impairment of immunity, the presence of malignant cutaneous lesions which contained DNA of "low risk" virus suggest that cardiomyopathy might have been secondary to acute viral myocarditis.
