To analyze if it is worthwhile to screen Brazilian osteoporotic patients for celiac disease (CD).
One hundred patients with osteoporosis and 97 controls were evaluated for IgA-EmA (IgA anti-endomysial antibodies) by indirect immunofluorescence method and IgG-anti-tTG (tissue transglutaminase) by ELISA assay. Positive patients were invited to have gastrointestinal endoscopy with jejunal biopsy.
Two patients had positive IgG-anti-tTG test and one of them also showed positive IgA-EmA. Only the latter had a positive duodenal biopsy for CD. None of the controls were positive for either auto-antibodies.
We observed low prevalence of CD in osteoporotic Brazilian patients. This finding does not support routine screening for CD in patients with osteoporosis in our geographic region.
分析对巴西骨质疏松患者进行乳糜泻(CD)筛查是否值得。
采用间接免疫荧光法对100例骨质疏松患者和97例对照者进行IgA-EmA(IgA抗肌内膜抗体)检测,采用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测IgG-抗tTG(组织转谷氨酰胺酶)。邀请检测呈阳性的患者进行胃肠内镜检查及空肠活检。
2例患者IgG-抗tTG检测呈阳性,其中1例IgA-EmA也呈阳性。仅后者十二指肠活检显示CD阳性。对照者中两种自身抗体均无阳性。
我们观察到巴西骨质疏松患者中CD的患病率较低。这一发现不支持在我们所在地理区域对骨质疏松患者进行CD的常规筛查。
