A vesiculobullous eruption of dermatitis herpetiformis and systemic lupus erythematosus developing simultaneously in a 26 year old woman is described. The lesions were characterized by pruritic urticarial vesicles, eosinophilic and neutrophilic abscesses, and the presence of the linear type of IgA deposition at the basement membrane zone. These lesions respond to dapsone, although high dosages of prednisone and cyclophosphamide were not effective.
