Bird-fancier's lung and jejunal villous atrophy

W T Berrill et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

Sixteen patients with bird-fancier's lung were screened for evidence of coeliac disease by assessing their clinical features, red-bloodcell or serum folate levels, and serum for reticulin antibodies. Five of nine patients selected for jejunal biopsy showed villous atrophy, and in some this seemed to be a true gluten-sensitive enteropathy.
