Abstract:
We report a 27-year-old male with rnultiple pruritic papulovesicular eruptions on the whole body without any gluten-sensitive enteric syrnpoms. A skin biopsy specimen showed subepidermal vesicles and papillary microabscesses infiltrated with rnany neutrophils and a few lymphocytes and eosinophils. Direct immunofluorescent study of the perilesional skin revealed linear deposits of immunoglobulin A along the dermo-epidermal junction. The lesion responded rapidly to oral dapsone and topical steroid therapy.
