Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten and prolamine consumption in individuals with genetic predisposition. Specific anti-transglutaminase 2 IgA autoantibodies, including highly specific anti-endomysial and anti-gliadin antibodies, are markers of choice for diagnosis. Approximately 1% of CD cases are associated with selective IgA immunodeficiency. We report a case of CD associated with selective IgA immunodeficiency that shows possible difficulties for diagnosis.
