Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Celiac Disease, and Selective IgA Deficiency: a Case Report

Patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus have a high prevalence of coeliac disease, symptoms of which are often mild, atypical, or absent. Untreated coeliac disease is associated with an increased risk of malignancy, particularly of lymphoma. Therefore, we report a 9-year-old girl with Coeliac disease, diabetes type 1 and Selective IgA deficiency. A 9-year-old female patient presented in august 2...

Celiac Disease and Diabetes Mellitus Type 1

In terms of epidemiology, autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) and diabetes type 1 (T1DM) come to the fore among autoimmune diseases related to the endocrine system, whereas among those unrelated to the endocrine system celiac disease (CD) is one of the more common. These diseases, apart from bronchial asthma, are among the most frequent chronic diseases affecting infants and children and often o...

Celiac disease in type 1 diabetes mellitus

Celiac Disease (CD) occurs in patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) ranging the prevalence of 4.4-11.1% versus 0.5% of the general population. The mechanism of association of these two diseases involves a shared genetic background: HLA genotype DR3-DQ2 and DR4-DQ8 are strongly associated with T1D, DR3-DQ2 with CD. The classical severe presentation of CD rarely occurs in T1D patients, but more oft...

Coexistence of celiac disease & type 1 diabetes mellitus in children

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and celiac disease (CD) tend to co-exist due to similar underlying genetic predisposition. Failure to recognize CD in patients with T1DM predisposes them to complications. The present study was aimed to assess children with T1DM for the presence of CD. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of the records of children with T1DM attendi...
