Coeliac disease in systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report.
The case of a rare coexistence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with coeliac disease (CD) is described. Systemic lupus erythematosus was diagnosed prior to CD and initially SLE treatment was administered. After several years, when CD symptoms developed, the diagnosis was corrected and additional treatment with a gluten-free diet was applied with beneficial effects.
