Association of celiac disease with systemic lupus erythematosus is rare, even though HLA B8 and DR3 are commonly associated with these diseases. We read with great interest a similar case reported by Hrycek and Siekiera in this journal and wish to highlight another case of ours, which had celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, an association which has never been described before.
