    In 17 patients with DH, multiple duodenal and jejunal biopsies were performed. In all patients the small-intestinal biopsy-specimens showed histopathological changes compatible with coeliac disease. Fourteen of the patients maintained a gluten-free diet (GFD) for more than 8 months. The small-intestinal lesions improved in all patients investigated during the GFD. The dosage of Dapsone needed to control the sin lesions could be reduced by more than 50% in 4 patients and the Dapsone could be stopped in 5 other patients on GFD. The immunoglobulin-bearing cells in the lamina propria were counted in 8 patients not on a gluten-free diet, in 6 patients on gluten-free diet, and in 8 healthy controls. The numbers of IgA-, IgM- and IgG-bearing cells were increased in most of the DH patients who were not on a gluten-free diet. The number of IgM-bearing cells in the DH patients who were on a gluten-free diet was the same as that in the control group. This may indicate a mainly IgM response in the lamina propria induced by gluten.
