Celiac disease - extragastrointestinal manifestations in adults
- Ordinace všeobecného praktického lékařství, Městská nemocnice Ostrava
The case report should aid general practitioners and internists in diagnosing celiac disease in adults in patients with an oligosymptomatic
form with disease manifestations with no gastrointestinal symptoms. In the case of symptoms such as sideropenic anemia, chronic
fatigue, age-inappropriate osteoporosis, difficulties becoming pregnant and repeated abortions of unknown etiology, burning of the
tongue and enamel disorders, skin exanthem, depression and tendency to anxiety, the differential diagnosis should include celiac
disease. A higher risk is found in patients with another previously manifested autoimmune disease frequently linked to celiac disease,
such as autoimmune thyroid disease, psoriasis, bronchial asthma and others.
