Palmar petechiae in dermatitis herpetiformis: a case report and clinical review
Abstract
Palmar petechiae or purpura is an unusual finding in dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) that occurs in children but is only rarely reported in adults. We describe a 46-year-old man with DH who presented with the classic pruritic papulovesicular eruption and associated volar finger and palmar petechiae. We discuss recent advances in the pathogenesis and treatment of DH.
