Dühring on dermatitis herpetiformis.
BACKGROUND
In the late 1800s there was much confusion over the nomenclature and classification of persistent, very itchy vesiculo-bullous eruptions.


OBJECTIVE
To review Dühring's contribution to clarifying this confusion.


CONCLUSIONS
By his detailed, perceptive, clinical, and histologic reports over many years, Dühring contributed greatly to organizing our clinical concepts of bullous disorders.
