Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an autoimmune blistering disorder pathogenetically associated with a gluten-dependent enteropathy. It is characterized by intensively pruritic, symmetrically distributed papulovesicular lesions found mainly on the extensor surfaces of the forearms, elbows, knees and gluteal region. Familial occurrence is frequently observed. Many drugs and chemical substances are triggers of the disease. In the paper the case of a 29-year-old woman with DH induced by propafenone and a positive familial history of DH is described.
