Circulating antibodies to gliadin subfractions in eczema herpetiformis and linear immune gamma globulin dermatoses.


Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) and celiac malady area unit associated and also the rash of DH is gluten‐dependent. The gliadin fraction chargeable for the rash is unknown. In linear Ig dermatoses the role of protein within the eruption remains disputable.

Anti‐gliadin ANtibodies (AGA) were measured by an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay in ten traditional controls; thirty five patients with eczema herpetiformis (DH); fourteen adults with linear Ig disease; and thirteen patients with chronic bullous skin disease of childhood. The presence of disease was assessed by jejunal diagnostic test and intra‐epithelial WBC (IEL) counts.



DH with traditional IEL counts on traditional diet: Ig and IgA‐AGA a twin of controls. DH with raised IEL counts on gluten‐free diet: slightly elevated Ig and IgA‐AGA. DH with raised IEL counts on a traditional diet: Ig and Ig were higher, with median Ig 1:2048 (control 1:512) median Ig 1:512 (control 1:128). DH patients with high Ig Agha had elevated titres to α, β, γ, and ω subfractions. the very best levels were for α and also the lowest for ω.

For linear Ig malady Ig is traditional however adults had raised IgA‐AGA compared to controls (P= zero.005).

In eczema herpetiformis the presence of anti‐gliadin protein was obsessed with the degree of disease, and, if present, was directed against all gliadin subfractions. the importance of the elevated Ig—AGA within the linear IgA malady is unknown.
