Abstract
We report a case of dermatitis herpetiformis associated with bullous pemphigoid in which the clinical, histopathological and immunopathological findings were corroborated by direct immunoelectronmicroscopy performed on normal and peri-lesional skin biopsies. Western immunoblotting detected the 180 kDa BPAG2 consistent with bullous pemphigoid. HLA-typing confirmed the DR3 DQ2 haplotype associated with dermatitis herpetiformis.
