Patients and methods: Iga antigliadin, IgG antireticulin and IgG antiendomysium antibodies were measured in 67 diabetic children (35 female), aged between 4 and 18 years old. Results : Only one male adolescent, aged years old, without gastrointestinal symptoms, had a significant elevation of antirecticulin and antiendomysium antibodies. His intestinal biopsy showed subtotal villous atrophy, consisten with celiac disease. Conclusions: The prevalence of celiac disease in these diabetic children is 1:67 (1.5 percent).
