ABSTRACT

To date, it has not been described that celiac disease (CD) increases the risk of contagion by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 nor the severity of the disease. The main risk factors for severe disease for this coronavirus are old male patients (> 65 years) with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, smoking, lung, cardiovascular and kidney diseases. The only treatment for CD is a gluten-free diet that improves the intestinal immune response. Adherence to treatment and follow-up of recommendations by experts during the COVID-19 period, would ensure celiac patients are better prepared for this pandemic.


Hasta la fecha no se ha descrito que la enfermedad celíaca (EC) incremente el riesgo de contagio por el nuevo coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 ni la gravedad de la enfermedad. Los principales factores de riego de enfermedad grave para este coronavirus son pacientes mayores de 65 años de sexo masculino con hipertensión, diabetes, obesidad, tabaquismo, y enfermedades pulmonar, cardiovascular y renal. El único tratamiento de la EC es la dieta libre de gluten que mejora la respuesta inmune intestinal. La adherencia al tratamiento y el seguimiento de recomendaciones dadas por expertos durante el período COVID-19, aseguraría a los enfermos celíacos, estar mejor preparados para esta pandemia.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Celiac disease is an immune response to a gluten-based diet that affects the small intestines of people with a genetic predisposition to disease. Celiac has intra intestinal and extra instestinal manifestations., In recent years, celiac and infertility have been considered. The present study examines the effect of celiac disease and its treatment on the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause. In this study, we compared the prevalence of celiac disease in fertile women with infertile women in Zahedan. Materials and Methods: In this case control study, 150 patients with unexplained infertility from Febraury 2016 to 2017 referred to Infrtility Clinic of Alis ibn-Abitaleb Hospital in Zahedan (Iran), were included in the study. Total IgA and IgA TTG were evaluated. IƒTTG is positive, for confirmation of diagnosis, biopsy is performed from the distal part of the duodenum. In control group, 150 fertile women with two or more children with the same characteristics were studied. Results: Theree patients with unexlained infertility (2%) were positive for TTG. Two of them (1/3%) were positive to celiac disease in small intestinal biopsy. None of the women in the control group had TTG positive (p=0.49) Discussion and Conclusion: It seems that some infertile patients with unexplained infertility suffer from celiac disease, but with a (p=0.49), it seems that celiac screening as a cause of infertility with unexplained cause needs more studies with larger sample size in Iran (AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: La prevalencia global de enfermedad celíaca (EC) es ~1% de la población. En Chile, la Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2009-2010 mostró una prevalencia serológica en mayores de 15 años de 0,76% (IgA-TTG2), que en Concepción correspondió a 0,6%. Objetivo: Determinar las caracte rísticas clínicas, de búsqueda, diagnóstico, tratamiento y seguimiento de la EC en los dos hospitales públicos de Concepción con servicio de Gastroenterología. Pacientes y Método: Estudio descriptivo, se recogieron datos de las fichas electrónicas (código CIE10) y clínicas de menores de 18 años estu diados por EC entre 2010 - 2016 provenientes de dos hospitales públicos de la ciudad de Concepción, Chile. Se identificaron los casos cuyo protocolo diagnóstico cumplía con los criterios ESPGHAN 2012 (confirmación con biopsia intestinal), 207 de 216 pacientes identificados cumplían los criterios de inclusión. El estado nutricional se clasificó según grupo etario (menores de 5 años OMS 2006; en los niños entre 5 y 18 años OMS 2007). Se calculó el Z-score (Z), a través del software WHO Anthro (en menores de 5 años) y WHO Anthro Plus (entre 5-18 años). Los anticuerpos antiendomisio se evaluaron mediante inmuno fluorescencia en cortes de esófago de mono; los anticuerpos antitrans- glutaminasa IgA e IgG a través ELISA; e IgA en sangre mediante ELISA. Resultados: Se confirmó EC por biopsias duodenales en 33,8%. IgA-TTG estuvo registrada en 70% e IgG-TTG en 52,9%, aunque solo dos pacientes tenían deficiencia de IgA. Los motivos de consulta preponderantes fueron gas trointestinales (80%) y/o derivación por un endocrinólogo (45,7%). La principal presentación clínica fue gastrointestinal, con diarrea (71,4%). El 17,1% presentaba Síndrome de Down (SD), 11,4% talla baja y 5,7% diabetes mellitus 1. Al diagnóstico, la relación obesidad: desnutrición (Z-score IMC) fue 2:1 y 6,8% de los pacientes eran obesos. Al año post-diagnóstico, en 26 pacientes celíacos sin SD la frecuencia de estado nutricional eutrófico disminuyó de 65,4% a 42,3%, aumentando el sobrepeso de 23,1 a 34,6% y la obesidad de 0 a 7,7%. Conclusiones: En Concepción, la especialidad de endo crinología efectúa una significativa y exitosa búsqueda activa, siendo responsable de 47,3% de los diagnósticos. La alta proporción de pacientes con sobrepeso/obesidad concuerda con el fenómeno descrito actualmente en Chile y otros países.


Abstract: Introduction: The worldwide prevalence of celiac disease (CD) is ~1% of the population. In Chile, the National Health Survey 2009-2010 showed a serological prevalence in individuals older than 15 years of 0.76% (IgA-tTG2), which corresponded in Concepción to 0.6%. Objective: Determine cli nical characteristics, search, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of CD in the two public hospitals in Concepción that have a Gastroenterology Department. Patients and Method: Descriptive study. Data were collected from electronic medical records (CIE10 code) and medical records of patients youn ger than 18 years of age, assessed for CD during 2010 - 2016 from two public hospitals in the city of Concepción, Chile. Cases whose diagnostic protocol met the ESPGHAN 2012 criteria (confirmation with intestinal biopsy), 207 out of 216 identified patients met the inclusion criteria. The nutritional status was classified according to age group (in children under five years old by WHO 2006 and in children between five and 18 years old by WHO 2007). The Z-score (Z) was calculated using the WHO Anthro software (in children under five years old) and WHO Anthro Plus software (in those between five and 18 years old). Antiendomysial antibodies were assessed by immunofluorescence test in cuts of the esophagus of mono, IgA and IgG anti-transglutaminase antibodies via ELISA, as well as serum IgA. Results: CD was confirmed by duodenal biopsies in 33.8% of the patients. IgA-tTG was identified in 70% and IgG-tTG in 52.9%, although only two patients had IgA deficiency. The main reasons for consultation were gastrointestinal (80%) and/or referral by an endocrinologist (45.7%). The main clinical presentation was gastrointestinal, with diarrhea (71.4%). 17.1% of the patients had Down syndrome (DS), 11.4% short stature, and 5.7% had type 1 diabetes mellitus. At diagnosis, the obesitymalnutrition ratio (Z-score BMI) was 2:1 and 6.8% of the patients were obese. One year after diagnosis, in 26 patients without DS, the frequency of eutrophic patients decreased from 65.4% to 42.3%, increasing overweight from 23.1% to 34.6% and obesity from 0 to 7.7%. Conclusions: In Con cepción, endocrinologists conduct a significant and successful active search of CD, being responsible for 47.3% of the diagnoses. The high proportion of overweight/obese patients is consistent with the phenomenon currently described in Chile and other countries.

ABSTRACT

A falta de opções terapêuticas para a Doença Celíaca (DC) tornou-se um problema de grande relevância no setor farmacêutico em decorrência do aperfeiçoamento das técnicas sorológicas de diagnóstico e, consequentemente, do aumento do número de indivíduos com diagnóstico confirmado para esta doença. Até o momento, a única terapia eficaz na DC é a dieta isenta de glúten, um tratamento aparentemente simples, mas que tem enormes reflexos nos hábitos nutricionais e sociais do paciente. O conhecimento do complexo mecanismo patogênico da DC permitiu o gradual desenvolvimento de pesquisas em busca de novas opções terapêuticas, entre as quais podemos destacar a ingestão oral de enzimas capazes de hidrolisar o glúten, inibidores da enzima transglutaminase tecidual, inibidores da permeabilidade intestinal, e indutores da tolerância oral ao glúten. Este estudo, além de descrever algumas características da Doença Celíaca e sua relação com a estrutura do glúten, compila informações de diversos autores sobre o desenvolvimento de novos tratamentos para a doença, com objetivo de identificar as opções terapêuticas que apresentam os maiores avanços e, portanto, tem potencial para estarem à disposição dos pacientes celíacos em um futuro próximo.


The lack of therapeutic options for celiac disease (CD) has become a relevant issue in the pharmaceutical sector, as a result of the improvement on technical diagnostic serological and the following increase in the number of individuals with confirmed diagnosis for this disease. To date, the only effective therapy to CD is the gluten-free diet, a seemingly simple treatment, but that has enormous repercussions in the social and nutritional habits of the patient. New findings on the complex pathogenic mechanism of CD allowed gradually the development of researches to look for new therapeutic options, among which we can highlight the oral intake of enzymes capable to hydrolyze the gluten, inhibitors of tissue transglutaminase enzyme, inhibitors of intestinal permeability, and tolerance induction of gluten. This study, besides to describing some features of celiac disease and its relationship with the structure of gluten, compiles information from several authors regarding the development of new treatment of this disease, with the goal of identifying therapeutic options that present the biggest advances and, therefore, has the potential to be at the disposal of celiac patients in a near future.

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of Celiac disease in the general population is approximately 1% and remains undiagnosed in a significant proportion of individuals. Its clinical presentation includes the classical malabsorption syndrome, unspecific and extra-intestinal manifestations, and silent celiac disease. The serologic diagnosis has an elevated sensitivity and specificity and, at least in adult population, it must be confirmed by biopsy in every case. Diagnosis in subjects already on gluten free diet includes HLA typing and gluten challenge with posterior serologic and histologic evaluation. The core of the treatment is the gluten free diet, which must be supervised by an expert nutritionist. Monitoring must be performed with serology beginning at 3-6 months, and with histology two years after the diagnosis, unless the clinical response is poor. Poor disease control is associated with complications such as lymphoma and small bowel adenocarcinoma. In the future, it is likely that new pharmacologic therapies will be available for the management of celiac disease.

ABSTRACT

Abstract OBJECTIVE To comprehend the psychosocial effects that Coeliac Disease diagnosis entails. METHOD Qualitative study, achieved through semi-structured interviews, analyzed in accordance to the Association of ideas map Technique. A total 12 recently-diagnosed patients from the Centro de diagnóstico, tratamento e apoio ao paciente com doença celíaca (Coeliac Disease Prevention, Support and Treatment Diagnose Centre) from the Hospital Universitário de Brasília (University Hospital of Brasilia) were enrolled for the study, between the years of 2013 and 2014. RESULTS The interviewed patients presented negative impacts in three categories: psychoaffective, family and social relationships, indicating issues with social readaptation once the treatment had started, as well as difficulty coping with a gluten free diet. CONCLUSION Coeliac Disease holds substantial impact on psychological functions, family and social relationships to diagnosed patients, requiring a clinical biopsychological assistance for better adherence to treatment and patients quality of life.

ABSTRACT

La enfermedad celíaca es una alteración de base inmunológica que puede presentarse en cualquier etapa de la vida. La causa es la intolerancia al gluten en aquellas personas predispuestas genéticamente. El diagnóstico precoz en niños permite adherir auna dieta libre de gluten y evitar consecuencias vinculadas con la enfermedad. El objetivo de este trabajo es orientar sobre las lesiones en tejidos blandos y duros de la cavidad bucal o retardo en la cronología de la erupción, que podrían asociarse a enfermedad celíaca (EC) y realizar la derivación oportuna al médico pediatra...

ABSTRACT

La Enfermedad Celiaca (EC) tiene una prevalencia cercana al 1% de la población general y se considera que hay un número importante de pacientes asintomáticos no diagnosticados. Su presentación clínica es variable comprendiendo el clásico síndrome de malabsorción, formas menores y la EC silente. El diagnóstico serológico tiene una elevada sensibilidad y especificidad y siempre debe confirmarse con biopsia. El diagnóstico en pacientes en dieta libre de gluten incluye test de tipificación de HLA y prueba de dieta con gluten con estudio serológico e histológico posterior. El pilar del tratamiento es la dieta libre de gluten, que debe ser supervisada por un nutriólogo con experiencia. La monitorización de la terapia debe realizarse con serología. La EC mal controlada puede determinar complicaciones como linfoma y adenocarcinoma de intestino delgado. En el futuro es probable que nuevas terapias farmacológicas sean de utilidad en el manejo de la EC.


Celiac disease has a prevalence near to 1% of general population and there is an important amount of asymptomatic people not yet diagnosed. Clinical presentation includes the classical malabsorption syndrome, minor and silent celiac disease. Serologic diagnosis has an elevated sensitivity and specificity, and must be confirmed by biopsy. Diagnosis in those on gluten free diet includes HLA type and gluten challenge with posterior serologic and histologic evaluation. The core of the treatment is the gluten free diet that must be supervised by an expert nutritionist. Monitoring is with serology. Poor disease control can determine complications such as lymphoma and small bowel adenocarcinoma. In the future, it is likely that new pharmacologic therapies will be available for the management of celiac disease.

ABSTRACT

Researches on DH have shown that it is not just a bullous skin disease, but a cutaneous-intestinal disorder caused by hypersensitivity to gluten. Exposure to gluten is the starting point of an inflammatory cascade capable of forming autoantibodies that are brought to the skin, where they are deposited, culminating in the formation of skin lesions. These lesions are vesico-bullous, pruritic, and localized especially on elbows, knees and buttocks, although atypical presentations can occur. Immunofluorescence of perilesional area is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, but serological tests help in cases where it is negative. Patients who follow glutenfree diets have better control of symptoms on the skin and intestine, as well as lower risks of progression to lymphoma. Dapsone remains the main drug for treatment, but it requires monitoring of possible side effects, some potentially lethal.

ABSTRACT

Knowledge about celiac disease continues to grow and amaze those who investigate, seek and treat this condition. Gone are the days when it was considered just a rare child's digestive disease. It is now recognized as a highly prevalent autoimmune condition that affects children and adults with digestive and extra-digestive symptoms of diverse intensity, disorder that may be either mono, oligo or asymptomatic from a digestive point of view. Today, it is an underdiagnosed condition, not actively considered, and often mistakes are made regarding its diagnosis, treatment and gluten-free diet monitoring. This article reviews the current definition of the disease, clinical presentations, potential patients, how to search for the disease, how the diagnosis is made and characteristics of the treatment and monitoring of celiac patients, all based on internationally agreed standards, and emphasizing those aspects that have proven to be useful in other countries regarding the management of the disease.


El conocimiento acerca de la enfermedad celíaca continúa creciendo y sorprendiendo a aquellos que la investigan, la buscan y la tratan. Lejos están los tiempos en que se la consideraba una patología digestiva del niño, poco frecuente. Actualmente se la reconoce como una condición autoinmune altamente prevalente, que afecta a niños y adultos, con manifestaciones digestivas y extra digestivas de muy diversa intensidad, pudiendo ser mono, oligo o incluso asintomática desde el punto de vista digestivo. Hoy en día está sub-diagnosticada, no se la busca activamente, se incurren en errores tanto al diagnosticarla como en la indicación del tratamiento y seguimiento de la dieta sin gluten. En este artículo revisamos la definición actual de la enfermedad, las presentaciones clínicas que se le conocen, en quiénes y cómo se debe buscar, como se hace el diagnóstico, y en qué consiste el tratamiento y seguimiento del paciente celíaco, basándonos en los criterios internacionales actualmente consensuados, y poniendo énfasis en aquellos aspectos que han demostrado ser útiles en otros países para mejorar el manejo de la enfermedad.

ABSTRACT

Gluten sensitivity is one of the prominent features of celiac disease (CD) which is an autoimmune disorder characterized by damaged lining of the small intestine. CD was known already to ancient Greeks as κοιλιακός (keeleeakoss) i.e. disease of the abdominal cavity hence celiac. Focus of this Commentary article is on rather complex definition of CD and its emerging new forms the example of which is non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It is becoming evident that to formulate more effective treatments, these associations and newly identified disease entities deserve attention from both academic and clinical communities.

ABSTRACT

El conocimiento en Enfermedad Celíaca (EC) ha mejorado sustancialmente en las últimas décadas, cambiando muchos de los conceptos históricamente aceptados sobre este tema. Las novedades se están incorporando lentamente a algunos sectores de nuestro país, a pesar de que gozamos de una situación de privilegio en comparación a otros países, contando con un Servicio Nacional de Salud formado por profesionales y que mantiene alta cobertura de la población. Es urgente mejorar las capacidades del equipo de salud en el tema de enfermedad celíaca; aun existe un sub diagnóstico importante, con pacientes en los que el diagnóstico no se buscó activamente, a menudo no se siguieron los criterios actualmente aceptados para llegar a él, el tratamiento está mal indicado y finalmente, el paciente es mal manejado. En este artículo revisamos qué entendemos hoy por EC, cómo ha cambiado la epidemiología debido a la mejor capacidad de búsqueda, en qué consisten las presentaciones clínicas típicas y atípicas, cómo hacer el diagnóstico, cuándo indicar dieta sin gluten y los requerimientos que hay para mantener un adecuado seguimiento.


Knowledge on celiac disease has greatly improved in the last decades, changing many of the concepts historically accepted. New developments are being incorporated rather slowly in some areas in our country, despite the existence of a National Health Service formed by professionally trained people that covers a large proportion of the population. It is urgent to update the capacities of our professionals on celiac disease; under diagnosis is still prevalent, cases are not actively searched for, diagnosis often does not follow current accepted criteria, treatment is inadequately indicated and as a result the patient is poorly managed. In this paper we review what we understand by celiac disease today, how epidemiology has changed derived from the new screening methods, what are the typical and atypical clinical presentations, how we reach diagnosis, when to indicate gluten free diet and the requirements to maintain a adequate follow up.

ABSTRACT

La enfermedad celiaca es una inflamación crónica caracterizada por vellosidades aplanadas en el intestino delgado que es inducida por proteínas ricas en glutamina y prolina del trigo, la cebada y el centeno, en personas genéticamente susceptibles. Se postula que la condición se desarrolló después de la segunda era del hielo en el medio oriente cuando se inicia el cultivo de granos. La primera descripción de la forma clásica fue en 1888 por Samuel Gee, pero no fue hasta 1950 que se asoció al gluten. Según estudios norteamericanos y europeos, actualmente, la prevalencia varía entre 1:300 a 1:80 niños. En Costa Rica no hay datos epidemiológicos y probablemente está sub-diagnosticada. La presentación clínica es variable. Pueden ser desde asintomático hasta cursar con un síndrome de malabsorción franco con diarrea persistente y falla para progresar.
