[Prevalence of celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus]

The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Between january 2004 and december 2005, 72 patients with type I diabetes mellitus and having pseudo ulcerous dyspepsia were included in this prospective study. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with proximal intestinal biopsies was performed in all patients. Patients with villous atrophy were tested for anti-gliadine antibodies, anti-endomysium antibodies and for anti-human tissue transglutaminase antibodies. Villous atrophy was observed in three patients [4, 1%]. It was subtotal in two cases and total in one case. Anti-gliadine antibodies, anti-endomysium antibodies and anti-human tissue transglutaminase antibodies were positive to three patients. The prevalence of celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus is high [4, 1%]. Early screening of celiac disease must be recommended to this diabetic population

The authors analyse 159 cases of genital endometriosis. Adenomyosis was present in 18,2% of surgical samples and represented 79,2% of the lesions in genital endometriosis.
