dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: Several autoimmune diseases may occur in the same patient. Celiac disease (CD) is found in patients with diabetes mellitus type-1 and thyroiditis. Few studies have addressed the association between CD and rheumatic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of anti-endomysial antibodies in RA patients. METHODS: The presence of IgA anti-endomysial antibodies (EmA-IgA) was evaluated in 85 RA patients and 97 healthy controls through indirect immunoflourescence using human umbilical cord as substrate. RESULTS: None of the RA patients or healthy controls was positive for EmA-IgA. CONCLUSION: We could not find an association between RA and anti-endomysial antibodies in the studied population.
