Abstract

Celiac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy, secondary to an allergy to gluten in genetically predisposed subjects, results in clinical polymorphism, with the presence of malabsorption syndrome, is a villous atrophy demonstrated using gastroscopy, which allows to biopsy the duodenal mucosa in order to demonstrate this atrophy at the histological level and also the demonstration of basal lymphocytosis, its associated clinical, endoscopic and histological abnormalities are positive for anti- ACs. IgA-type transglutaminase, the latter may be deficient, the chosen which is frequent in celiac patients compared to the general population, making sometimes the diagnosis is a challenge for the clinician. We report the case of an association between an IgA deficiency and celiac disease in a 20-year-old patient with no personal or family pathological history, revealed by diarrhea with signs of deficiency in connection with malabsorption and the presence of the sign suggestive at endoscopy. digestive system, with an analysis of the relationship between seronegative celiac disease (SNCD) and immunoglobulin A deficiency through a review of the literature on the main medical databases
