“…Seyhan et al [94] reported a prevalence of 9 % for vitiligo amongst adult celiac patients. In a later study of 61 adult and pediatric patients with vitiligo, the same group reported prevalences rates of 15 % for CD amongst adult vitiligo patients, and 24 % amongst the pediatric cohort [95]. …”

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune condition affecting the small intestine, triggered by the ingestion of gluten, the protein fraction of wheat, barley, and rye. There is a strong linkage between CD and HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 haplotypes. Multiple case reports and small series suggest concordance between CD and other autoimmune disorders. This paper provides a brief overview of the pathogenesis of CD and reviews the literature regarding associations between CD and other autoimmune diseases, including the potential effects of gluten-free diet therapy on the prevention or amelioration of associated diseases.

“…Síntomas similares han sido descritos por otros autores, en el 37% de los casos. 10 Lo anterior aporta evidencia de que el dermatólogo debe interrogar sobre los síntomas digestivos, pues tras ciertas enfermedades de la piel y las mucosas puede haber una EC atípica. Es común la intolerancia a la lactosa en los celíacos debido a la deficiencia de lactasa por la atrofia intestinal.…”

Se incluyeron 79 pacientes, con predominio del sexo femenino (75%). La mediana de edad fue de 33 años y el índice de masa corporal medio fue de 24.7 kg/m 2 . La enfermedad celíaca se demostró histológicamente en 4 de 32 portadores de estomatitis aftosa, en 2 de 24 con vitíligo y en 1 de 17 con alopecia areata. No se detectó en pacientes con urticaria crónica ni psoriasis.Conclusión: La frecuencia de enfermedad celíaca confirmada histológicamente en pacientes con estomatitis aftosa, vitíligo o alopecia areata fue del 8.8%.

“…One cross-sectional study investigated the incidence of CD in 176 patients with vitiligo; five (2.8%) of these patients were diagnosed with CD[ 24 ]. Further, in a case-control study, Seyhan et al [ 25 ] assessed serum anti-endomysial IgA antibody in 61 patients with vitiligo (21 children) and 60 controls. Eleven patients with vitiligo and one control were positive, and among these seropositive patients, five were younger than 18 years of age.…”

“…The seroprevalence rates for children and adults were 23.8% and 15%, respectively. Seropositive patients underwent endoscopic duodenal biopsy of the upper gastrointestinal tract, and the prevalence of CD confirmed by biopsy was 3.2%[ 25 ]. The second case-control study by Shahmoradi et al [ 16 ] assessed EMA and anti-tTG IgA in 64 patients with vitiligo and 64 controls; each group included 41 (64.1%) women and 23 (35.9%) men.…”

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune intestinal disease caused by the intake of gluten-containing cereals and their products by individuals with genetic susceptibility genes. Vitiligo is a commonly acquired depigmentation of the skin; its clinical manifestation are skin patches caused by localized or generalized melanin deficiency. Both diseases have similar global incidence rates (approximately 1%) and are associated to similar diseases, including autoimmune bullous disease, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune thyroiditis, autoimmune gastritis, and type 1 diabetes. The relationship between CD and vitiligo has been reported in several studies, but their conclusions are inconsistent. Further, it has also been reported that a gluten-free diet (GFD) can improve the symptoms of immune-related skin diseases such as vitiligo. In this mini-review, we summarize and review the literature on the relationship between CD and vitiligo, assess the therapeutic significance of GFD for patients with vitiligo, and explore their possible physiopathology. We are hopeful that the information summarized here will assist physicians who treat patients with CD or vitiligo, thereby improving the prognosis.
