The Use of Oral Ketamine for Analgesia with Dressing Change in an Infant with Epidermolysis Bullosa: Report of a Case

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.
