background: coeliac disease (cd) is characterized by malabsorption resulting from inflammatory injury to the mucosa of the small intestine by an inappropriate immune response to dietary gluten proteins. the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of cd in our endoscopy unit by taking routine duodenal biopsies during upper gi endoscopy. materials andmethods: nine hundred and thirteen pati...

ganglioneuroma is a very rare cause of chronic diarrhea in children. this benign tumor usually presents with diarrhea and failure to thrive. it is necessary for physicians to be familiar with this rare cause of chronic diarrhea. here we present and discuss such a case.

background celiac disease is an autoimmune mediated small intestine inflammation which is occurred due to hypersensitivity reaction to gluten and related proteins in diet in genetically predisposing individuals. prevalence of celiac among the population is about 0.5 – 1 % in most countries. frequency of celiac disease in children is a subject of few research .in this study, we aim to determine ...

background and objective: celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, characterized by inflammation, villous atrophy, and crypt hyperplasia of the small bowel mucosa. in this study we considered and compared sensitivity and specificity of serological tests in patients with celiac disease. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study we prospectively recruited children with suspected celia...

background: coeliac disease is triggered by ingestion of gluten-containing cereals in genetically susceptible subjects. the aim of the study was to analyze correlation between serum antiendomysial antibody and antiglidin antibody and the grade of pathology in small intestine mucosa in children with celiac disease. materials and methods: this cross-sectional analysis was carried out in a group o...

CONTEXT Studies of mortality in celiac disease have not taken small-intestinal pathology into account. OBJECTIVE To examine mortality in celiac disease according to small-intestinal histopathology. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Retrospective cohort study. We collected data from duodenal/jejunal biopsies taken between July 1969 and February 2008 on celiac disease (Marsh stage 3: villous atro...

background: celiac disease (cd) has an autoimmune disease in response to ingestion of foods containing gluten sausing damage to the mucosal tissue of small intestine. the disease can severely affect quality of life. this study aims to assess the relationship between behavioral disorders and quality of life (qol) in patients with celiac disease. materials and methods: 87 celiac patients and 100 ...

In the present narrative review, we analyzed the relationship between seronegative celiac disease (SNCD) and immunoglobulin deficiencies. For this purpose, we conducted a literature search on the main medical databases. SNCD poses a diagnostic dilemma. Villous blunting, intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) count and gluten "challenge" are the most reliable markers. Immunohistochemistry/immunofluo...
