An uncommon association: celiac disease and dermatomyositis in adults.

摘要: We describe the case of a patient with two-year history adult dermatomyositis (DM) who developed malabsorption revealing celiac disease. Our observation raises question an association between DM and disease as part continuum, suggesting that may be included within spectrum gastrointestinal manifestations polymyositis (PM). From practical point view, our data indicate diagnosis should suspected in PM/DM patients exhibiting syndrome. Based on findings, we further emphasize evaluation for disease, including anti-gliadin antibodies, anti-endomysium antibody tissue trans-glutaminase antibodies considered presenting unusual unexplained features. This could lead to early management such patients, resulting decreased morbidity (i.e., malnutrition malignancy) related misdiagnosed
