Pemphigus-like antibodies in dermatitis herpetiformis.
Pemphigus-like antibodies were demonstrated in a patient with dermatitis herpetiformis. The patient was a 28-year-old Japanese who showed itchy tense bullae on the back, chest and shoulders. We speculate the antibodies are similar to those found in burns, drug eruptions and certain other skin diseases.
