Arthritis associated with gluten-sensitive enteropathy.
A 15-year-old girl, with synovitis of the knees and ankles for 3 years before a diagnosis of gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is described. The enteropathy was confirmed histologically and on the basis of a clinical response to a gluten-free diet. The arthritis also resolved promptly, suggesting that it was associated with the bowel disorder.
