Description
Gluten-sensitive enteropathy, commonly known as celiac disease, has both fascinated and puzzled clinicians and investigators over the past century. While much has been learned regarding its pathogenesis, many more questions remain to be answered. This broadly scoped volume brings together what is now known about the disease from both clinical and research perspectives, with new insights into etiopathogenesis, immunology and associated disorders. Written by leading authorities, the chapters thoroughly cover the clinical and pathologic features of celiac disease in children and adults as well as extra-intestinal manifestations of the disease. Further chapters discuss evolving concepts of the pathogenesis of celiac disease focusing on its immunologic and genetic basis and the proteins that activate disease. As an up-to-date single source of information, this book will appeal to clinicians and researchers alike with an interest in learning more about gluten-sensitive enteropathy.
