AbstractCeliac disease is a frequent auto-immune disease characterized by villous atrophy related to gluten intake in patients with genetic susceptiblity. Patients do not present symptoms in the majority of cases. Presence of the disease must be investigated in case of digestive symptoms or presence of auto-immune disease. Diagnosis is based on anti-transglutaminase antibody and dudodenal biospies. The only available treatment is gluten-free diet. Associated auto-immune diseases must be investigated, especially thyroiditis. Complications related to nutritional deficiency must be accounted for also.Copyright © 2023 Société Nationale Française de Médecine Interne (SNFMI). Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
