[Some clinical aspects of celiac disease (author's transl)].

220 jejunal biopsies have been performed in 146 children. Out of these, thirteen have been recognized as suffering from celiac disease. Furthermore, the possibility of celiac disease being associated with other gastrointestinal disorders, either of the stomach or of the sigma and rectum has been considered. Any explanation for this association can only be hypothetical, because the pathogenesis of celiac disease needs further study.
