DOI: UNUSUAL MANIFESTATIONS OF COELIAC DISEASE: A CASE STUDY APPROACH
Dr. Mamta Chaudhary , Department of Pharmacy Practice, Nims University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, IndiaAbstract
Coeliac disease is a common autoimmune disorder characterized by an abnormal immune response to gluten. While the classic presentation of coeliac disease involves gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and malabsorption, atypical or non-classic presentations can pose diagnostic challenges. This paper presents a case study approach to explore the unusual manifestations of coeliac disease and their clinical implications. The selected case studies highlight patients who presented with atypical symptoms or extraintestinal manifestations of coeliac disease, including dermatological, neurological, and psychiatric manifestations. Through an in-depth analysis of these cases, this research aims to increase awareness among healthcare professionals regarding the diverse presentations of coeliac disease, improve diagnostic accuracy, and enhance patient outcomes.
