Resumo
Objective: To analyze if it is worthwhile to screen Brazilian osteoporotic patients for celiac disease (CD). Subjects and methods: 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. Results: 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. Conclusion: 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. © ABE&M todos os direitos reservados.
