Original research Screening for coeliac disease among Egyptian children
           

Conclusions: Coeliac disease is more common in Egyptian children with refractory iron deficiency anaemia, non-endocrinal short stature and type 1 diabetes than was previously thought; therefore it is mandatory to screen such patients for CD. Serological tests showed fairly good sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis; however, intestinal biopsy remains the cornerstone for definitive diagnosis of patients with immunological reaction to gluten.
