The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of celiac disease in children of short stature and to assess whether some of the routine laboratory examinations performed to determine the cause of short stature could suggest the presence of celiac disease. A total of 106 children of short stature and no gastrointestinal symptoms were studied. An extensive endocrine work-up had been negative for all of them and an additional investigation was performed by measuring the concentration of antiendomysial antibody. Patients who were positive for antiendomysial antibody (≥1:10) or who exhibited IgA deficiency (less than 5 mg/dl) were referred for an endoscopic intestinal biopsy.

“…Although gastrointestinal findings are the most prominent and well-known presentations of CD, approximately 50% of patients with CD present no gastrointestinal symptoms when they are initially diagnosed. Currently, some authors consider various types of oral cavity pathologies to be clinical manifestations of CD, like dental enamel defects, soft tissue lesions and RAS (3,6,(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). In dermatology, although dermatitis herpetiformis is an autoimmune blistering disease that appears as a cutaneous manifestation of gluten intolerance (12), the association between CD and RAS has been long suspected and has been evaluated in several studies, but conflicting results have been reported.…”

“…A study by de Freitas et al (19) has shown that a significantly increased percentage of patients with coeliac disease suffer from aphthous stomatitis. A detailed analysis performed by these authors revealed that up to 31% of patients with coeliac disease show clinical manifestations of aphthous stomatitis.…”

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a common disease of the oral mucous membranes. Currently a hypothesis is being discussed that it might be pathogenetically related to coeliac disease. We evaluated the frequency of coeliac disease anti-endomysial (or anti-transglutaminase) antibodies in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Blood samples from 42 patients were evaluated and 2/42 (4.7%) were IgA- and IgG-endomysial antibody-positive. None of the 42 persons in the control group had antibodies, which was not statistically different from the patient group. The two antibody-positive patients had episodes of mild gastrointestinal symptoms only, but histopathology of duodenal mucous membranes confirmed coeliac disease. All symptoms related to aphthous stomatitis responded well to a gluten-free diet. We conclude that every patient with recurrent aphthous stomatitis should be asked about a history of gastrointestinal complaints and screened for markers of coeliac disease, since recurrent aphthous stomatitis may in some cases respond to a gluten-free diet.

Celiac Disease in Brazilian Adults

Abstract: In general, the authors' results are similar to those described in developing countries, indicating that celiac disease might have the same spectrum of presentation regardless of the region studied.
