Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of dermatitis herpetiformis
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 06/01/09
Caproni M et al. - Dermatitis herpetiformis is a rare disease that should be considered the cutaneous expression of a gluten-sensitive enteropathy indistinguishable from celiac disease. The diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis is established clinically, histologically, immunopathologically and serologically. A gluten-free diet (GFD) is the treatment of choice for patients with dermatitis herpetiformis. Dapsone and/or other drugs should be used during the period until the GFD is effective.
