Bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (BCIE), also known as epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK), is characterized by erythema and skin blistering of the newborn. The erythema is replaced with thick scaling later. Neonates with BCIE have higher risk of developing severe infection, such as sepsis.
