          Abstract

          RESUMEN La enfermedad celíaca (EC) es una enfermedad autoinmune sistémica desencadenada por el consumo de gluten de la dieta en personas con susceptibilidad genética. Los principales test serológicos utilizados para el diagnóstico y seguimiento de la EC son pruebas basadas en anticuerpos de isotipo inmunoglobulina (Ig) A, siendo la determinación de IgA anti-transglutaminasa tisular (tTG)2 la prueba serológica inicial de elección. La deficiencia selectiva de IgA (DSIgA), es más prevalente en pacientes con EC que en la población general, dificultando el diagnostico serológico de la enfermedad. En el presente estudio observacional descriptivo, se incluyeron 74 pacientes adultos con diagnóstico confirmado de EC y se determinó IgA anti-tTG2 en suero mediante ensayo de ELISA a fin de detectar a aquellos pacientes con niveles indeterminados o negativos, los cuales podrían presentar DSIgA. Se dosó IgA total en el suero de estos pacientes por inmunodifusión radial y el promedio fue de 237,8 ± 100,6 mg/dL. En una paciente del sexo femenino fue detectada IgA total menor a 7 mg/dL, con niveles séricos de IgG e IgM normales, característicos de la DSIgA. Así, la frecuencia calculada de DSIgA fue de 1,35% en la población con EC estudiada. En conclusión, este trabajo es una primera aproximación para describir la frecuencia de DSIgA en pacientes con EC del país y reafirma la importancia de incluir el dosaje de IgA total en el caso de realizar test serológicos de la EC basados en IgA.

          ABSTRACT Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic autoimmune disease, which is triggered by gluten intake in genetically susceptible individuals. The most important serological markers used for CD diagnosis are test based on immunoglobulin (Ig) A isotype, being the determination of tissue anti-transglutaminase IgA (tTG) 2 the marker of choice for diagnosis. Selective IgA deficiency (SIgAD) is more prevalent in CD patients than in the general population, making the serologically diagnosis of the diseasedifficult. In the present descriptive observational study, 74 adult patients with a confirmed CD diagnosis were included and anti-tTG2 IgA was determined by using ELISA assay in order to detect those patients with undetermined or negative levels, which could present SIgAD. The total IgA level was determined in these patients and the mean concentration was 237.8 ± 100.6 mg/dL. In a female patient, total IgA was less than 7 mg/dL, with normal IgG and IgM levels, characteristic of SIgAD. Thus, the calculated frequency of SIgAD was 1.35% of the CD study population. In conclusion, this work is a first approach to describe the frequency of SIgAD in CD patients of the country and reaffirms the importance of including total IgA determination in the case of conducting IgA-based serological tests specific for CD.

          Coeliac disease

          Coeliac disease occurs in about 1% of people in most populations. Diagnosis rates are increasing, and this seems to be due to a true rise in incidence rather than increased awareness and detection. Coeliac disease develops in genetically susceptible individuals who, in response to unknown environmental factors, develop an immune response that is subsequently triggered by the ingestion of gluten. The disease has many clinical manifestations, ranging from severe malabsorption to minimally symptomatic or non-symptomatic presentations. Diagnosis requires the presence of duodenal villous atrophy, and most patients have circulating antibodies against tissue transglutaminase; in children, European guidelines allow a diagnosis without a duodenal biopsy provided that strict symptomatic and serological criteria are met. Although a gluten-free diet is an effective treatment in most individuals, a substantial minority develop persistent or recurrent symptoms. Difficulties adhering to a gluten-free diet have led to the development of non-dietary therapies, several of which are undergoing trials in human beings.

            International Union of Immunological Societies: 2017 Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases Committee Report on Inborn Errors of Immunity

            Beginning in 1970, a committee was constituted under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO) to catalog primary immunodeficiencies. Twenty years later, the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) took the remit of this committee. The current report details the categorization and listing of 354 (as of February 2017) inborn errors of immunity. The growth and increasing complexity of the field have been impressive, encompassing an increasing variety of conditions, and the classification described here will serve as a critical reference for immunologists and researchers worldwide.
