P02.191. A pruritic, psoriasiform rash in an 82 year old patient: clues to diagnosing atypical celiac disease

چکیده
Purpose Celiac disease is a common autoimmune disease that is under-diagnosed. Challenges in its diagnosis are due to the frequent presentations of silent celiac disease, without overt diarrhea, and the perceived rarity of the disease despite recent studies showing that its prevalence approaches 1% of the United States population. Published studies have shown that the diagnosis of celiac sprue is frequently delayed, even with typical symptoms. Atypical and “silent” diseases are the most common presentations for gluten-sensitive enteropathy as less than 50% of patients present with the classic diarrhea-predominant disease.
