Clinical Onset of Celiac Disease after an Episode of Campylobacter jejuni Enteritis by EF Verdu, M Mauro, J Bourgeois, D Armstrong

“…Infectious gastroenteritis is a well-established risk factor for the development of IBS, and there is recent evidence that it could play a role in the initiation and exacerbation of inflammatory bowel disease. The present case suggests that the clinical expression of CD can be unmasked by an acute gastrointestinal infection and supports the hypothesis that environmental factors other than gliadin may play a role in the clinical onset of CD in a genetically susceptible host. …”
