Selected parameters of fibrinolysis system in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis.

Background: Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a very rare bullous dermatitis of autoimmune origin. It is a syndrome involving dermal and intestinal pathology, in which vesicopapular skin lesions are accompanied by gluten-dependent enteropathy. The diagnosis of DH is based on immunopathological investigation of unaffected skin bioptate (presence of granular IgA deposits in the upper portions of dermal papillae).
