Unusual manifestations of celiac disease.
Celiac disease is multifaced autoimmune disorder with several extraintestinal manifestations and connections to other autoimmune diseases and other conditions. The recognition of the complex clinical picture of the disease helps doctors to search and diagnose celiac disease even if the gastrointestinal symptoms are lacking. Individuals at risk for celiac disease should be thoroughly investigated and individuals with unusual manifestations of the disease should be screened actively.
