Abstract (english)
Background and Purpose: Growth failure is one of the most prominent atypical manifestations of celiac disease (CD) in childhood. The incidence of CD and diagnostic value of the proposed serologic screening tests for CD were evaluated in a group of short-statured children. Materials and Methods: Serum antiendomysial antibodies (EMA) IgA class, antigliadin antibodies (AGA) IgA and IgG class, and total IgA were determined in 81 children with idiopathic short stature. AGA were detected by ELISA test and EMA by indirect immunofluorescence test using monkey esophagus. The patients positive for any of the serologic tests underwent small intestinal biopsy along with HLA typing. Results: Out of ten (12.4%) seropositive patients, five (50%) were positive for all 3 tests, two (20%) for AGA IgG and EMA, two (20%) for AGA-IgG only, and one (10%) for EMA only. The two samples positive for AGA-IgG only were found out to have a selective IgA deficiency. CD was confirmed by small intestinal biopsy in all ten seropositive patients, and nine of them had celiac type HLA markers. Conclusion: The results of our study suggest that in short statured sub jects EMA-IgA and total IgA, followed by AGA-IgG for IgA deficient samples may prove a reliable and cost-effective screening method for CD.
