Dermatitis Herpetiformis Antibody Profile

Detection of gliadin antibodies aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of certain gluten-sensitive enteropathies, such as celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis.

Dermatitis herpetiformis is a chronic, relapsing multisystem disease with mainly cutaneous symptoms, presenting as a pruritic eruption with various combinations of grouped, erythematous, vesicles resembling herpes lesions. Despite the name, there is no connection between the two conditions other than the similar appearance of the skin lesions of both.

Dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs in association with an asymptomatic type of celiac disease. The cause is unknown, but immunogenic factors may play a role.

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation for dermatitis herpetiformis, more tests or diagnosis by your physician.
