E suggests a linkage between different environmental agents and the development of celiac disease—an immune-mediated disorder—in those with a specific genetic predisposition (HLADQ2, HLA-DQ8) who exposed to gluten—a major storage protein in wheat and other grains. Infections, particularly viral agents, have been hypothesized to induce or exacerbate immune-mediated disorders, possibly through a ...

aim : the aim of this study was to discuss the prevalence of celiac disease (cd) in dyspeptic patients. background : although severe mucosal abnormality with villous atrophy (lesions marsh iii) is at present the gold standard for the diagnosis of cd, presentation with non-specific microenteropathy (marsh i-ii) with positive serology is also common. patients with dyspepsia, specific cd antibodie...

Cholera is caused by strains of V. cholerae O1 or O139. V. cholerae has many serotypes, but only toxigenic strains (which produce cholera toxin, or CT) belonging to these two serotypes have caused epidemic diarrhoea. V. cholerae belongs to the Vibrionaceae family of bacteria, which are normal inhabitants of fresh and salt water; thus, an understanding of cholera requires an understanding of the...

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by small intestinal mucosal injury and nutrient malabsorption that affects patients with a specific genetic predisposition (HLA DR3-DQ2 and HLA DR4-DQ8) who are exposed to gluten, the major storage protein of wheat and similar grains (1, 2). Abnormal immune response to gliadin, genetic factors, and environmental factors play a role in ...

Clinical implications herein, we describe the first case in medical literature of food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome response to specific fish roe.
