objective epilepsy occurs with a yearly incidence of 40 per 100,000 children, of which more than 25% are resistant to drug therapy. epilepsy may occur in autoimmune diseases like lupus, celiac disease and myasthenia gravis. in this study, the relationship between celiac disease and refractory epilepsy was evaluated in children with idiopathic epilepsy. material & methods hundred-fifty-five chil...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects genetically predisposed individuals upon the ingestion of gluten. it is now considered one of the most common genetic disorders in europe and asian pacific region with a prevalence of up to 2.67% of the population. the true prevalence of celiac disease may still be underestimated. studies remain lim...

celiac disease has been associated with other autoimmune disorders such as autoimmune hepatitis, moreover it is known that t cell mediated immune response to dietary gluten and released cytokines are important for the entheropathy seen in celiac disease. we investigated celiac autoantibodies in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (aih), and chronic hepatitis b (chb). sera from 84 patients with a...

myelofibrosis is reported in patents with primary hyperparathyroidism. it is also was reported in patents with sec- ondary hyperparathyroidism due to end-stage renal disease or vitamin d dependent rickets .we present a case of celiac disease and osteomalacia which leads to secondary hyperparathyroidism and myelofibrosis.

â  â celiac disease (cd) was traditionally believed to be a chronic enteropathy, almost exclusively affecting people of european origin. celiac disease is the permanent intolerance to dietary gluten, the major protein component of wheat. the availability of new, simple, very sensitive and specific serological tests has shown that cd is as common in middle eastern countries as in europe, austral...

background: in some studies inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) and celiac disease were considered to be associated and some belive that this association may influence the prognosis of ibd. however, there is a cosiderable controversy regarding this association. therefore ,we aimed to assess the association of these two common digestive diseases and evaluate the complications of this association. m...

an association between coeliac disease and fertility disorders is well recognised in the current literature, but the information related to non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (ncgs) and infertility is lacking. this case highlights a possible role of treating ncgs in the reversal of infertility.

celiac disease or gluten sensitivity may initially present as one or more neurological signs and/or symptoms. on the other hand, it may be associated with or complicated by neurological manifestations. neurological presentations are rare in children but as many as 36% of adult patients present with neurological changes. with severe malnutrition after progression of celiac disease, different vit...

BACKGROUND Vitiligo is an acquired, idiopathic disorder characterized by circumscribed depigmented macules and patches. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of vitiligo is not clear. Many theories have been presented regarding this subject among them aautoimmune theory is the most important one. The association of vitiligo with other autoimmune disorders has been reported, but the relationship b...

Background: Celiac disease is a chronic inflammation of small intestine which is caused by an increased permanent sensitivity to a protein named gluten. This protein is present in some cereals such as wheat, barley, and rye. The immunologic response to this protein can cause clinical symptoms in people with specific human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) (including HLADQ2 or HLADQ8). Most studies have...
