The Gut-gut Axis: Cohabitation of Celiac, Crohn’s Disease and IgA Deficiency
نویسندگان
چکیده
An adult patient with IgA deficiency, celiac and Crohn’s disease is described. In addition to the rare association, he developed an unusual proximal Crohn’s disease. Unbalanced microbiome, increased intestinal permeability, susceptibility to infections that might initiate post translational modification of naïve protein and the genetic background, are shared between the three entities. It is speculated that the IgA immune deficiency and its consequences are the early factors that set the stage for the progression of the other two diseases. Based on recent knowledge, special nutritional therapies should be considered, in addition to the gluten free diet.

Changes in the composition and function of the gut microbiota in celiac disease
Evidence is supported the hypothesis that any changes in the composition and function of the gut microbiota play a fundamental role in a number of chronic inflammatory diseases including celiac disease (CD). In the last decade, several culture-independent methods have been developed to identify the components of the human microbiome. The study of microbiota based on nucleic acid analysis found ...
متن کاملType 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...

Background: Celiac disease is a common autoimmune disorder that is diagnosed based on clinical case identification, serological screening, and duodenal histology. However, the existence of mild clinical forms, such as seronegative cases with patchy atrophy and potential celiac disease, can make it difficult to determine a definitive diagnosis. The seronegative patients with celiac disease can i...

Aims Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disease triggered by gluten and other environmental factors, such as intestinal microbiota in genetically predisposed persons. This study aimed to evaluate the composition of the target gut microbiota population in patients with CD and to compare it with healthy individuals. Methods & Materials In this case-control study, Bifidobacterium and Lac...
متن کاملStrong Clonal Relatedness between Serum and Gut IgA despite Different Plasma Cell Origins
Mucosal antigens induce generation of lamina propria plasma cells (PCs) that secrete dimeric immunoglobulin A (IgA) destined for transport across the epithelium. In addition, blood contains monomeric IgA. To study the relationship between mucosal and systemic antibody responses, we took advantage of celiac disease patient samples for isolation of gut PCs as well as serum IgA and IgG reactive wi...
