Compliance with gluten-free diet in adolescents with screening-detected celiac disease: a 5-year follow-up study

E Fabiani et al. J Pediatr. 2000 Jun.

Abstract

After 5 years of treatment, 22 patients with celiac disease, diagnosed by means of serologic mass screening (mean age, 17.9 years), showed a lower compliance with a gluten-free diet and frequent positivity of serum anti-endomysium antibodies (32%) in comparison with a group of 22 age-matched patients diagnosed because of "typical" symptoms during childhood.
