  Purpose

This is a feasibility study to see if Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (GCSF) is effective as a treatment of Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB.) Patients will receive one course of treatment with the study drug. The course will be 7 days in length. After receiving GCSF, patients will be followed at 7 and 30 days following the discontinuation of the drug. Thirty day follow up can be done via telephone communication with the patient or family.
