Abstract
A 37-year-old woman developed polymyositis and arthritis concomitantly with proteinuria and watery diarrhea. Repeated duodenal biopsies and serological evaluation established the diagnosis of adult celiac disease. Treatment with gluten-free diet resolved all clinical and laboratory abnormalities. We believe that this is the first report of adult celiac disease presenting as a multisystem disease involving kidneys, joint, and muscles.Entities:
