OBJECTIVE To investigate the presence of autoantibody deposition against type 2 tissue transglutaminase (TG2; a reliable marker of the whole spectrum of gluten sensitivity) in the jejunal tissue and brain of patients with gluten ataxia and in control subjects. METHODS The authors evaluated jejunal biopsy samples from nine patients with gluten ataxia and seven patients with other causes of ata...

The capacity to clear IgG containing immune complexes from the circulation was studied in patients with coeliac disease (n = 13), dermatitis herpetiformis (n = 8), and coeliac disease with concomitant serum IgA deficiency (n = 4). A small group of patients with active ulcerative colitis (n = 4) was included as a bowel disease control group. Clearance was estimated by measuring the disappearance...

A year later, in April 1951, he was hospitalized for a recurrence complicated by a secondary impetigo. Bacterial tests repeatedly gave bullous reactions to streptococcic antigens only, as seen in Figures 1 and 2, and described in Table I. ...
