Gluten-induced enteropathy: report of one case

Gluten-sensitive enteropathy: Synthesis

The intestinal mucosa of patients with gluten-sensitive enteropathy responds to gluten challenge in vivo with a striking increase in IgA and IgM synthesis. Whether this increase in immunoglobulin synthesis is due in some part to the production of antigliadin antibodies is examined. Using an affinity chromatography technique it has been demonstrated that in six of seven patients with gluten-sens...

Gluten intolerance, gluten enteropathy, and coeliac disease.

Animal model of gluten induced enteropathy in mice.

The aim of our experiments was to produce a local T cell mediated immune response to gliadin in the mouse small intestine as a possible animal model of gluten sensitive enteropathy, coeliac disease. BALB/c and BDF1 mice were immunised systemically with gliadin in complete Freund's adjuvant. The jejunal mucosa was challenged by feeding a gluten containing diet, and villus and crypt lengths, cryp...

Combined cow's milk protein and gluten induced enteropathy.

A child is reported with unequivocal gluten and cow's milk protein-induced enteropathy. This is believed to be the first reported case of this association.

Hypokalemic myopathy in a patient with gluten-sensitive enteropathy and dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring: a case report.

The case of a 22-year-old patient with symptomatic hypokalemia caused by rhabdomyolysis is presented as a rarely reported complication of gluten-sensitive enteropathy (GSE) and dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring. The patient's myopathy ceased on potassium supplementation and her other complaints resolved while on gluten-free diet. Recovery was otherwise uneventful with a rapid decline in serum CP...
