A 20-year-old female presents to the college health clinic concerned about a rash that has recently developed along her back and flank. Aside from a history of chronic diarrhea and flatulence, she reports being otherwise healthy. She is concerned that this rash could be either from bed bugs or possible be sexually transmitted, as she has engaged in unprotected sex multiple times over the past two years. The physician orders several lab tests and finds that the patient does indeed have chlamydia and elevated tissue transglutaminase (tTG) levels. What is the most likely cause of her rash?
