An update on direct immunofluorescence for diagnosing dermatitis herpetiformis. [PDF]
This mini-review presents an update on the direct immunofluorescence (DIF) for diagnosing dermatitis herpetiformis. The DIF of uninvolved, perilesional skin is a crucial laboratory procedure in diagnosing dermatitis herpetiformis (DH). IgA deposits at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) of perilesional skin with DIF can also be found in coeliac ...
