Abstract
-
The chance to develop celiac disease is five-folds higher in children with severe food allergy than in general population
-
Concomitant autoimmunity and severe IgE-mediated allergy are not uncommon and should alert the physician to exclude more complex diagnoses such as immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy-X-linked (IPEX) syndrome, auto immune polyendocrinopathy candidiasis ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) or even celiac disease
-
Asthenia in a well-nourished allergic child should be taken seriously and deserves a thorough workup
