An abnormal cellobiose/mannitol ratio is present in new patients presenting with dermatitis herpetiformis and in patients who have never adhered to a strict gluten-free diet. In patients with dermatitis herpetiformis in remission on a strict gluten-free diet, small bowel absorption as measured by the cellobiose/mannitol ratio is normal. It is suggested that cellobiose/mannitol ratio absorption is a useful screening test for the intestinal abnormality associated with dermatitis herpetiformis and failure of the test to return to normal could suggest poor dietary compliance.
患有疱疹样皮炎的新患者以及从未严格遵循无麸质饮食的患者存在异常的纤维二糖/甘露醇比值。在严格遵循无麸质饮食且处于缓解期的疱疹样皮炎患者中,通过纤维二糖/甘露醇比值测量的小肠吸收是正常的。有人认为,纤维二糖/甘露醇比值吸收是一种用于筛查与疱疹样皮炎相关的肠道异常的有用检测方法,该检测未能恢复正常可能提示饮食依从性差。
