Abstract purpose: The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction as measured by the presence of
overt thyroid disease, abnormal results of thyroid function tests, or antithyroid antibodies was
compared in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) and a normal control group who had
the HLA-B8/-DR3 haplotype. patients and methods: The study population consisted of 56
patients with DH and 26 control subjects with the HLA-B8/-DR3 haplotype. All were
examined for thyroid function abnormalities and thyroid autoantibodies. results: Patients with …
