Secondary Phenomenon

1. The ability of homogenates of jejunal mucosa to liberate amino acids from a peptic-tryptic digest of gluten was assessed. Mucosal specimens were obtained from thirty-two control subjects without malabsorptive disease, from twenty-six patients with untreated adult coeliac disease and from nine patients with adult coeliac disease in whom the intestinal mucosa was histologically normal as a consequence of treatment with a gluten-free diet. In addition nine of the untreated patients were restudied after institution of a gluten-free diet. 2. The ability of the jejunal mucosa from the patients with untreated adult coeliac disease to liberate amino acids from the gluten peptides was significantly less than that of the mucosa from control subjects. 3. No significant difference from normal was found when jejunal mucosa from patients with treated adult coeliac disease was studied irrespective of whether or not the mucosa was histologically normal. 4. These results indicate that the impairment of jejunal mucosal digestion of gluten in untreated adult coeliac disease is a secondary phenomenon and do not support the hypothesis that coeliac disease is due to the absence from the intestinal mucosa of an enzyme normally concerned in the digestion of gluten.

Life Threatening

Background: Alveolar hemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening condition which is usually managed by the pulmonologist. When considering its etiology, there is a rare association that sets the disease into the hands of the gastroenterologist. Case presentation: We report the case of a 48 year-old female who was admitted to the intensive care unit for severe anemia and hemoptysis. On imaging, diffuse pulmonary infiltrates suggestive of alveolar hemorrhage were detected and a diagnosis of pulmonary hemosiderosis was made. She received cortisone therapy and hematologic correction of anemia, with slow recovery. In search of an etiology for the pulmonary hemosiderosis, an extensive workup was done, and celiac disease specific serology was found positive. After confirmation of celiac disease by biopsy, a diagnosis of Lane-Hamilton syndrome was established. The patient was recommended a gluten-free diet and at 6 months follow-up, resolution of anemia and pulmonary infiltrates were observed. Conclusion: Although the association is rare, celiac disease should be considered in a patient with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis. In our case, severe anemia and alveolar infiltrates markedly improved with glucocorticoids and gluten-free diet.
