Erythema elevatum diutinum associated with celiac disease: response to a gluten-free diet.
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.
