A case report of dermatitis herpetiformis with positive gluten-sensitive intestinal disease autoantibodies / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

A middle-aged male patient initially appeared scattered erythema with pruritus all over the body without obvious cause. According to the skin manifestations of the patient, combined with pathological diagnosis, direct immunofluorescence examination, and different serum autoantibody spectrum, the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the patient was made by clinicians. The diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis was confirmed by the use of autoantibodies in the absence of any apparent history of pasta discomfort. With targeted treatment, the patient′s symptoms and laboratory indicators improved significantly.
