Coeliac disease is diagnosed by means of jejunal biopsy, an invasive procedure. Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) have therefore been used in the first screening of the disease. On the other hand, low titers of AGA are widely detected also in normal subjects. In order to investigate if low levels of AGA

OBJECTIVE The use of immunoglobulin G and A anti-gliadin antibodies for celiac disease screening has decreased due to higher specificity and sensitivity of tissue transglutaminase and endomysial antibodies. Greater values of immunoglobulin-A anti-gliadin antibody have been associated with more

This study evaluated the various growth parameters among patients presenting with chronic diarrhea and highlight the most common causes of chronic diarrhea among a sample of Egyptian infants and children. This cross-sectional study included 146 patients with chronic diarrhea. They were 87 males and

We present a patient with Fabry disease with remarkable diagnostic findings and gluten-sensitive enteropathy. An 11-year-old girl was admitted to hospital with weight loss, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, flank pain, acroparesthesia, and painful extremities. Her mother had end-stage renal failure

The clinical phenotype of Schimke immunoosseous dysplasia (SID) is characterized by growth retardation, renal failure, recurrent infections, cerebral infarcts, and skin pigmentation beginning in childhood. We report here on a 4-year-old male child who had all characteristic symptoms of SID, and, in

This study involved all children with celiac disease admitted and seen in the Paediatric Gastroenterology Clinic at King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH) over a 10-year period. In the first year, we identified 62 cases with celiac disease. Their mean age at presentation, introduction to cereals in

OBJECTIVE Celiac disease is one of the malabsorption syndromes leads to growth and development retardation in children. There is no test lonely can definitely diagnose celiac; however, the collection of clinical findings, serologic tests, intestinal biopsy, and response to treatment may diagnose it.

Celiac disease is poorly documented in intertropical Africa. The purpose of this retrospective report was to describe 8 cases observed at the Groupement Medico-Chirurgical of Bouffard Hospital in Djibouti (Horn of Africa) between January 2003 and January 2006. There were 5 females and 3 males

Coeliac disease usually presents in infancy or early childhood with diarrhoea, vomiting and interference with weight gain and growth. Withdrawal of dietary gluten is followed by resolution of the symptoms and signs and restoration of normal weight gain and growth; the characteristic subtotal villous

Background: Clinically relevant neurological manifestations in children with celiac disease (CD) are unusual, especially when they are considered as signs of the onset of the disease. In this paper, a case of Guillain-Barrè syndrome (GBS) as the first manifestation of CD in a 23-month-old child is

Coeliac disease is a gluten-sensitive enteropathy which results in a permanent malabsorption of nutrients in that portion of the small intestine (the jejunum) that is damaged. A genetic, inheritable disease, it is directly related to ingestion of certain wheat proteins especially found in rye

BACKGROUND There are, as yet, no data available about the incidence of celiac disease in Libya. The aim of this study was to test the occurrence of serologic markers in a group of Libyan children with positive clinical and histologic findings indicative of celiac disease

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine in a homogeneous adult population from Denmark, which is known to have very low incidence rates of coeliac disease, 1) the percentage of patients presenting with mild or atypical symptoms; 2) a possible change in clinical pattern over time; and 3)
