Abstract

Celiac disease criteria are reviewed, disease characteristics in children and adults, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, associations and complications. Methods of immunological and anatomopathological diagnosis and treatment are presented. Attention is drawn to its diagnostic importance as an emerging disease in the Latin American region, as it is a poorly diagnosed condition in the Central American and Andean countries.
