AbstractThe aim of this study was (1) to prospectively evaluate the nationwide implementation of the ESPGHAN-guidelines for the diagnosis of celiac disease (CD), (2) to investigate the incidence and clinical presentation of diagnosed childhood CD (0–14 years) in the Netherlands, and (3) to compare the findings with national survey data from 1975 to 1990 and 1993 to 2000 using the same approach. From 2010 to 2013, all practicing paediatricians were invited to report new celiac diagnoses to the Dutch Pediatric Surveillance Unit. Data were collected via questionnaires. A total of 1107 children with newly diagnosed CD were reported (mean age, 5.8 years; range, 10 months–14.9 years; 60.5% female). After the introduction of the non-biopsy approach in 2012, 75% of the diagnoses were made according to the guideline with a significant decrease of 46.3% in biopsies. The use of EMA and HLA-typing significantly increased with 25.8% and 62.1%, respectively. The overall incidence rate of childhood CD was 8.8-fold higher than in 1975–1990 and 2.0-fold higher than in 1993–2000. During the study period, the prevalence of diagnosed CD was 0.14%, far below 0.7% of CD identified via screening in the general Dutch paediatric population. Clinical presentation has shifted towards less severe and extra-intestinal symptoms.Conclusion: ESPGHAN guidelines for CD diagnosis in children were effectively and rapidly implemented in the Netherlands. Incidence of diagnosed CD among children is still significantly rising with a continuous changing clinical presentation. Despite the increasing incidence of diagnoses, significant underdiagnosis still remains. What is Known:• Since 2000 the incidence of diagnosed childhood CD in the Netherlands has shown a steady rise.• The rise in incidence has been accompanied by a changing clinical presentation at diagnosis. What is New:• The ESPGHAN guidelines 2012 for CD diagnosis were effectively and rapidly implemented in the Netherlands.• The incidence of diagnosed childhood CD in the Netherlands has continued to rise significantly during the reported period.

Background: The clinical, histological, and serological spectrum of celiac disease (CD) vary widely. We aimed to examine relationships between symptoms, serum anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) levels, mucosal damage, and mucosal anti-tTG deposits in pediatric CD. Methods: A retrospective single-center, cohort study of children referred for endoscopy with suspected CD during 2011–2014. We retrieved the clinical data, blindly reviewed duodenal biopsies, and performed immunohistochemical staining for anti-tTG deposits. Patients were classified as monosymptomatic or polysymptomatic. Mucosal anti-tTG deposits were classified according to the location of deposits, dominant intensity, maximal intensity, and percentage of stained area. Results: Of 252 patients with confirmed CD, complete data were available for 100: 37 males in the age range 1.3–16.7 with median 4.0 years. Monosymptomatic patients (n = 54) presented at an older age than polysymptomatic patients (1.3–15.5, median 8.1 vs. 1.3–16.7, median 6.3 years, p = 0.026). Marsh 2–3c was more prevalent in polysymptomatic patients (93 vs. 78%, p = 0.028). The intensity of mucosal anti-tTG deposits correlated with serum anti-tTG levels but not with the clinical presentation. Conclusions: Multiple symptoms and high serum anti-tTG antibody levels correlated with mucosal damage in children with CD. The role of immunohistochemical staining for intestinal anti-tTG mucosal deposits in the diagnosis of borderline CD is not yet established.

Celiac disease (CD) is a complex polygenic disorder, which involves genetic factors human leukocyte complex (HLA) and non-HLA genes, environmental factors, innate and adoptive immunity, and a robust chronic T-mediated autoimmune component. The main goal of the present monograph is to define a methodological approach for the disease, characterized by frequent late diagnosis, in order for the physician to become aware of the disease management, the diversity of the clinical presentation itself and in different patients. A unique attention is payed to the specific diagnostic tests to define a correct and accurate application of them, and in addition, to disease follow-up and possible complications. Moreover, a dedicated space is assigned to refractory CD, to potential CD and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Legislative aspects of the celiac disease in Italy are addressed, too. The celiac disease guidelines and their evaluation by means of Appraisal of Guidelines, Research and Evaluation II instrument allow us to classify the different recommendations and to apply them according to the stakeholders’ involvement, pertinence, methodological accuracy, clarity and publishing independence. Finally, the most current scientific evidence is taken into account to create a complete updated monograph.

First Time

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune chronic inflammatory disease occurring in genetically predisposed individuals in response to the intake of gluten. Clinical presentation can be heterogeneous. Iron-deficient anemia (IDA) is one of the most common extra-intestinal manifestations of CD. Although IDA usually reverts with a gluten-free diet (GFD), some patients show persistent IDA, the mechanisms of which are poorly understood. Recent studies suggest an association between the rs855791 polymorphism in the TMPRSS6 gene and persistent IDA in adults with CD. The current study aimed to assess the potential link between rs855791 and persistent IDA in pediatric patients with CD. The study included 106 children diagnosed with CD between 2015 and 2019. Clinical and blood parameters (including blood count, serum iron) were collected at diagnosis and after ≥12 months of GFD, and the rs855791 genotype was assessed for each patient. IDA was present at diagnosis in 25 patients (23.6%); only three (3%) had persistent IDA after GFD. The prevalence of rs855791 genotypes was 9% (n = 10) for TT, 53% (n = 56) for CT, and 38% (n = 40) for CC. There was a tendency toward a higher proportion of the T allele in patients with IDA and lower hemoglobin in the TT genotype but without statistical significance. An association between rs855791 and persistent IDA was not observed. These findings suggest that persistent IDA is uncommon in pediatric patients with CD. The prevalence of rs855791 in children with CD is reported for the first time.
