The IgA antibody to endomysium of smooth muscle (IgA-EmA) was measured in 32 children with confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis who were eating gluten-free diets. One patient had IgA-EmA before treatment but had a negative test one month later while on the diet. Two so treated for less than one year still had antibody, but of seven children treated for more than one year with gluten-free diet, none had detectable antibody. It was present in 13 of 20 children not adhering to the prescribed diet. The antibody was absent in 4 children with linear IgA bullous dermatosis and 43 children with various skin and intestinal diseases. These findings correspond to those in adults with dermatitis herpetiformis and indicate that IgA-EmA is also a marker for gluten-sensitive enteropathy in children.
