title: [Prevalence of specific antibodies for celiac disease in children attended in the Nutritional Recovery Program in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina].
abstract: Celiac disease is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects 1.26% of the Argentine pediatric population. Our purpose was to study the prevalence of specific antibodies of celiac disease in a risk group and to find the association with specific factors. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in children ofa Nutritional Recovery Program from 1 year and 9 months to 6 years and 9 months old, from one Health Area of Tucumán Province, during 2010 and 2011, in a random cluster sample. It was studied a population of 175 children. We identified 3 cases with positive serology, equivalent to 1.7% of the study population. The association between cases with positive serology for celiac disease and other variables referred could not be established.
