Pediatr Dermatol. 1993 Jun;10(2):125-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.1993.tb00036.x.

Abstract

An 11-year-old girl with a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus had erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) associated with a celiac disease related to a possible kidney disease. Dapsone did not improve the skin manifestations. However, the lesions disappeared after a gluten-free diet was begun. To our knowledge, this report describes the first case of EED in a patient with celiac disease.
