Its clinical manifestation includes recurrent episodes of infections with unexplained behavior, anhidrosis, mental retardation, and damage to oral structures.</p> <p><strong>Case Presentation:</strong> In this case report, we have demonstrated the signs and symptoms of a 7-year-old boy presented to the pediatric out-patient department of Memon Medical Institute Hospital with complaints of multiple fluid-filled blisters since the age of 1 year. He had a history of multiple hospital admissions due to infections, where he was diagnosed with a case of CIPA.</p> <p><strong>Management & Results:</strong> Since the diagnosis of this medical condition, the child has undergone multiple debridements of his wound and amputations. The treatment plan was aimed to manage the blisters, prevent self-injuries, and treat orthopedic problems by regular dermal and orthopedic follow-ups.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> There is no cure for CIPA patients, the families that have CIPA patients must undergo prenatal testing and screening to prevent the birth of another affected child.</p>}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Endorsing Health Science Research}, author={Zaidi, Syed Ali Haider and Razak, Sufyan and Syeda Kiran Fatima and Hafiz Abdul Wase and Zaidi, Syed Mohammad Haider and Yousuf, Zeeshan and Naz, Farah and Yousuf, Bilal}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={529–533} }
