title: [Antigliadin antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: We had study on the antibodies antigliadin type IgA in 40 patients having rheumatoid arthritis (33 Women and 7 men; middle age 51 years; rheumatoid factors was positive in 60%; the follow up of patient is 5.9 years). The technique applied is by ELISA. All the patients benefited of malabsorption biological test; of the immunoglobulins; and complex of histocompatibility (HLA); and gastrointestinal exploration composed of: fibroscopy duodno-jejunal with systematic biopsies. The search for this antibodies antigliadin (AAG) showed itself negative at all patients. Has histology, all these patients have a height villies normal. The abnormalities had been found in 37.5%, are minor partial intestinal villi, cellular infiltration of chorion and intraepithelial infiltration by lymphocytes more then 40%. By the way, we discuss the different mechanisms of these digestive involvment.
