Coeliac disease: the great imitator

[Irish Daveyboy]

Article from the Medical Journal of Australia.

“Know syphilis in all its manifestations and all other things clinical will be added unto you.”
.
When the supreme clinician William Osler wrote this, he was drawing attention to the ubiquity of syphilis and the remarkable range of its late-stage manifestations, today virtually unknown.
However, I argue that its place has been taken by coeliac disease (CD), another great imitator.
As a diagnostic challenge, CD is the “syphilis” of the 21st century.
