RESUMEN

Background and objective Celiac disease is an autoimmune multisystem disorder that is triggered by dietary gluten sensitivity in genetically susceptible individuals. It presents with extraintestinal cutaneous manifestations including dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, urticaria, and alopecia areata. Due to the insufficient availability of data, this study aimed to estimate the frequency of cutaneous manifestation in a Pakistani population with celiac disease. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2020 to July 2021, and 300 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease were enrolled in the study from the internal medicine department of a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. Celiac disease was confirmed by the presence of immunoglobulin A (IgA) endomysial antibody and IgA tissue transglutaminase antibody. The presence of cutaneous manifestations was assessed with the assistance of a qualified dermatologist and noted in a self-structured questionnaire. Results Overall, the most common cutaneous manifestation was DH (16.0%), whereas the second most common cutaneous manifestation was psoriasis (13.8%). DH was most commonly found among males (18.9%), while psoriasis was more common among females (14.12%). Conclusion Among the various cutaneous presentations in patients with celiac disease, the most common dermatological manifestation was DH. Therefore, patients with cutaneous manifestations should undergo screening for celiac disease.
