Ermira Dervishi | Doriana Berberi

Abstract: Coeliac disease is an autoimmune mediated enteropathy. It developes in genetically susceptible individuals upon ingestion of proline and glutamine proteins, commonly found in wheat, barley and ray. The disease has heterogeneous clinical manifestations raging from the classic form of CD, to asymptomatic, atypic, latent and potential form. We will present a small series of classic and atypical cases of CD, diagnosed and treated in our department, with the attempt to emphasize the atypical manifestations of the disease.
