Abstract

Celiac sprue (CS) has been described in association with hepatitis C virus (HCV) as another immunologic manifestation of this infectious disease. We report 2 patients, a 42-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man, with chronic HCV hepatitis. Upper digestive endoscopy and duodenal biopsy were performed to investigate diverse symptoms. The results of histological analysis and serological study were compatible with CS. The association between both diseases, including immunological aspects and the implications of anti-HCV treatment, is discussed.
