“…These patients which were diagnosed as potential celiac cases needed to be followed and may need re-endoscopy if they develop any symptoms. Prevalence of CD in the healthy group was the same as other studies in Turkey (2.1% vs 1.3%), which was predictable because of genetic similarities between Iranian and Turkish people (12) . In study in the same center on 1500 healthy children participating in serologic screening, 30 (2%) subjects had positive serology for CD.…”

“…Unsworth et al reported IDA as the only abnormality in 40% of patients of CD [18]. In some of these studies, loss of iron in feces also has been ruled out as the cause of IDA [19,20]. So, there is definite evidence showing association between celiac disease and IDA of obscure origin especially the one not responding to iron therapy.…”

Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis (IPH) is characterized by the triad of iron deficiency anemia, pulmonary infiltrates and haemoptysis with no recognizable cause. Since the first description of its association with Celiac Disease (CD) by Lane and Hamilton in 1971, only a few isolated cases have been reported in literature. Although it has been considered an uncommon association of two disease entities, recent reports indicate that prevalence of celiac disease is as high as one percent. Further, individually both celiac disease and IPH are known to present as refractory anemia only. We are reporting a young adult with Lane Hamilton Syndrome, who realized that he was having significant gastrointestinal complaints only when they disappeared on gluten free diet (GFD). This case report reiterates the fact that celiac disease should be considered in all patients of IPH because of the therapeutic implications. Further on review of literature, we believe that covert hemoptysis may be responsible for disproportionately severe anemia in patients of celiac disease. Thus, prevalence of this association may be more than currently believed. Further research in this regard may improve our understanding of pathogenesis of celiac disease.

Background: Although prevalence of celiac disease (CD) is known from the western population, there is a lack of epidemiological data from India. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of CD among at high risk population in India. Study Design: Patients considered to be at high risk for CD i.e. those presenting with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) or type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or infertility or idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) or the firstdegree relatives of patients of CD were enrolled in the study. The study was conducted in a tertiary care of hospital with enrollment period from September 2012 to August 2013. They were screened for CD and anti tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody levels; and those who tested positive and consented, underwent endoscopic duodenal biopsy for confirmation. Results: Prevalence of high anti-tTG was found in 27.3% of IDA patients, 4.3% among patients with T1DM, 12.8% of infertile female patients, 3% of the patients with IGE and 23.4% of the first degree relatives. Prevalence of villous atrophy was found in 4% of patients with IDA, 4.3% among those with T1DM, 1.8% among infertile female patients and 3% among patients with IGE. None of the first degree relatives consented for intestinal biopsy. Conclusion: Prevalence of CD was high among patients presenting with IDA, T1DM and IGE. Prevalence couldn't be calculated in first degree relatives because of non-consenting patients. Better awareness among both patients and physicians is required in our country.
