Indian Dermatol Online J. 2014 Jan;5(1):48-50. doi: 10.4103/2229-5178.126032.

Abstract

Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a rare skin disease that initially presents as leucocytoclastic vasculitis and later resolves with fibrosis. Dermatitis herpetiformis is an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by granular deposits of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in dermal papillae. We report a rare association of these two disorders.

Keywords: Dermatitis herpetiformis; erythema elevatum diutinum; immunoglobulin A.
