Mucosal ulceration and mesenteric lymphadenopathy in coeliac disease.
serum aLkaline phosphatase was 32 K.A. units/100 ml. These figures were strongly suggestive of neonatal rickets and maternal osteomalacia respectively.X-ray films of the infant's long bones showed evidence of active rickets, most noticeable at the lower femoral epiphyses (fig. 2). Emination of the urine showed generalized amino-aciduria. The infant was treated with 1,000 I.U. of calciferol dail...
متن کاملMucosal healing and mortality in coeliac disease.
BACKGROUND Coeliac disease (CD), characterised by the presence of villous atrophy (VA) in the small intestine, is associated with increased mortality, but it is unknown if mortality is influenced by mucosal recovery. AIMS To determine whether persistent VA is associated with mortality in CD. METHODS Through biopsy reports from all pathology departments (n = 28) in Sweden, we identified 7648...
متن کاملSmall intestinal ulceration: diagnostic difficulties in relation to coeliac disease.
Seven cases of ulceration of the small intestine are described and the relationship to coeliac disease is discussed. Evidence for coeliac disease is found in all cases but is less strong in some than in others, and coeliac disease was proved in only two cases. The ulcers were examined histologically in each case and in three cases were associated with malignant histiocytosis but the others show...

متن کاملImmunohistochemical analysis of mucosal gamma-interferon production in coeliac disease.
The role of gamma-interferon in the pathogenesis of enteropathies with an immunological basis such as coeliac disease, is unclear. Gamma-interferon immunoreactive lymphocytes were quantified in jejunal biopsies from patients with coeliac disease and from normal controls. In coeliac disease, there was an apparent decrease in the percentage of both intraepithelial (3.5% v 13.5%) and lamina propri...
