Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy caused by a permanent sensitivity to gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. In rare cases, CD may occur with a severe potential life-threatening manifestation known as a celiac crisis (CC). This may be a consequence of a delayed diagnosis and expose patients to possible fatal complications. We report the case of a 22-month-old child admitted to our hospital for a CC characterized by weight loss, vomiting, and diarrhea associated with a malnutrition state. Early identification of symptoms of CC is essential to provide a prompt diagnosis and management.
乳糜泻(CD)是一种免疫介导的肠病,由遗传易感个体对麸质的永久性敏感引起。在罕见情况下,CD可能会出现一种严重的、可能危及生命的表现,称为乳糜泻危象(CC)。这可能是诊断延迟的结果,并使患者面临可能的致命并发症。我们报告了一名22个月大的儿童因CC入院的病例,该CC的特征为体重减轻、呕吐和腹泻,并伴有营养不良状态。早期识别CC的症状对于及时诊断和治疗至关重要。
