Dermatitis herpetiformis.

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an autoimmune, pleiomorphic, papulovesicular disorder associated with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. DH is characterized by subepidermal bullae on hematoxylin and eosin staining and granular immunoglobulin A deposits in the dermal papillae using the direct immunofluorescence method. Antibodies to tissue transglutaminase and epidermal transgulatminase can...

Dermatitis herpetiformis.

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), described over 100 years ago, is a life-long blistering skin disease that can appear at any age. Dapsone controls the rash effectively and has been used for over 50 years in the treatment of DH.

Dermatitis herpetiformis and vitiligo.

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a rare immunobullous disorder of the skin that is associated with gluten hypersensitivity. Subepidermal IgA-type antibody deposition against tissue transglutaminase leads to dense neutrophilic microabscess and eventually into vesicles in dermal papillae, which may occasionally merge into bullae.
