Özet

Goal: Recent studies suggest an increasing prevalence of atypical initial symptoms in patients with celiac disease (CD). The aim of this study was to compare the presenting symptoms of CD at 2 comparable referral institutions in South Florida, and in Ankara, Turkey. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with an initial diagnosis of CD by small bowel biopsy during the same (1991 to 2001) 10-year period at Cleveland Clinic Florida and University of Ankara, Turkey. A numerical score was assigned to presenting symptom and signs.
