| Abstract: | A patient with an II-year history of a generalized blistering eruption is described. The eruption was completely controlled within I week of taking sulphapyridine and recurred within 4 days of with-drawal of this drug. On account of these observations a diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis was made. Histological, immunological (and small intestinal) studies now show that this patient had pemphigus. |
