Abstract

We present a 16-year-old girl with a 4-year history of chronic persistent erythema nodosum. Recurrently low serum iron values suggested the possibility of a malabsorption syndrome. The presence of antitransglutaminase and antiendomysium antibodies and the jejunal biopsy specimen findings showed an underlying celiac disease. On a strict gluten-free diet, the skin lesions resolved and the girl has since remained symptom free for 9 months. Thus celiac disease can be a triggering factor for erythema nodosum. In the chronic form of the skin lesions, serologic testing for this specific enteropathy may be justified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
