Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy involving the small intestines. Genetic and environmental risk factors as well as autoimmunity have been linked to its etiology. Studies have shown that coronary artery disease, autoimmune myocarditis, arrhythmias and premature atherosclerosis are more prevalent in individuals with CD compared to individuals without the disease. In this case...

Gluten-related disorders include celiac disease (CD), wheat allergy, and nonceliac gluten sensitivity. CD is an autoimmune enteropathy caused by damage to small intestinal mucosa when gluten is ingested in genetically susceptible individuals. Currently, the only available treatment of CD is gluten-free diet. Several potential treatments are being researched. Wheat allergy is a hypersensitivity ...

Immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome primarily affects males and is caused by problems with the immune system. The immune system normally protects the body from foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses, by recognizing and attacking these invaders and clearing them from the body. However, the immune system can malfunction and attack the body's own...

Celiac Disease (CD) or gluten sensitive enteropathy is an autoimmune disorder characterised by variable presentations which respond to exclusion of wheat and other gluten containing products [1]. While exclusion of gluten is the corner stone in the management of this entity, newer therapeutic approaches are now being investigated. These include use of elemental diets, oral prolyl-endopeptidases...

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 ...

background: celiac sprue (gluten sensitive enteropathy) is an autoimmune disease which is hereditary and its pathology mainly bases on immunologic intolerance to gluten. it has a vast variety of signs and symptoms and its clinical features range from a silent disease to a typical gastrointestinal disorder. in this study we reviewed and summarized some other related issues about this disease and...

Összefoglaló. A glutén, alimentáris környezeti antigénként, különböző szervrendszereket érintő autoimmun betegségeket tud kiváltani. kórképek hátterében a gluténtolerancia veleszületett hiánya vagy az élet során bekövetkező elvesztése áll. gluténindukált betegségek között leggyakoribb coeliakia, melyet súlyosságú enteropátia jellemez, és melynek szöveti, 2-es típusú transzglutamináz autoantigén...

Background Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common severe primary antibody deficiency. Although infections are prevalent clinical manifestations, a large amount of patients also suffer from immune dysregulation. This results in significant morbidity [1]. Different manifestations enteropathy can occur, yet little information available regarding its optimal treatment. Objective...
