La crisi celiaca come possibile esordio di malattia

Le résumé fourni par la source

We report the case of a 20-month-old child admitted for persistent diarrhea and vomiting, associated with progressive weight loss, asthenia, metabolic acidosis, electrolyte disturbances, and hypoalbuminemia. The clinical presentation was suggestive of a celiac crisis at the onset of the disease, which was subsequently confirmed by serological testing. The patient showed rapid clinical improvement following intravenous rehydration, albumin infusion, corticosteroid therapy, and the introduction of a gluten-free diet. Initial hypothyroidism, was managed with levothyroxine replacement therapy. Celiac crisis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. It requires prompt clinical recognition, appropriate emergency management, and the immediate initiation of a gluten-free diet.
