Abstract

We report the fourth case of coexisting dermatitis herpetiformis and vitiligo. This patient's HLA haplotype is HLA-B8 DR3, which is characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis. The autoimmune features of both disorders suggest that their coexistence is not coincidental.

Dermatitis herpetiformis presenting as intertriginous dermatitis.

A 54-year old man with atypical dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring lasting about three years is reported. The lesions were located exclusively in the pubic area, groins, inner thighs and perianal regions. Routine histopathology and the direct as well as the indirect immunofluorescence supported the diagnosis. Application of a gluten-free diet and dapsone alleviated the symptoms.

Erythema elevatum diutinum arising in the setting of dermatitis herpetiformis.

Dermatitis herpetiformis is an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by granular deposits of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in dermal papillae. Erythema elevatum diutinum is a chronic form of vasculitis associated with IgA paraproteinemia. We report a patient with dermatitis herpetiformis who developed characteristic erythema elevatum diutinum lesions on the elbows and knees despite sulfone therapy. We speculate that the different patterns of IgA deposition in the skin account for the clinical manifestation of these 2 uncommon disorders.
