Abstract

Celiac Disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune enteropathy that affests all systems, although it mostly affects the small intestine. In Ulcerative colitis (UC), which is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), there is recurrent immune activation and inflammation of the gastrointestinal system. According to the literature, the coexistence of CD and UK was found to be infrequent. In this article, we present a young female patient with CD who developed UC.

Abstract

Çölyak hastalığı (ÇH) daha çok ince barsağı etkilemekle birlikte tüm sistemleri etkileyen kronik otoimmün bir enteropatidir. İnflamatuar barsak hastalığı (İBH) olan ülseratif kolitte (ÜK) ise gastrointestinal sistemin tekrarlayan immun aktivasyonu ve inflamasyonu vardır. Literatüre göre ÇH-ÜK birlikteliğinin sık olmadığı saptanmıştır. Bu makalede ÇH tanısı olan hastada ÜK gelişen genç bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur.
