ABSTRACT
Steatorrhoea and subtotal villus atrophy due to gluten enteropathy was found to occur in a 27 year old female, who had histologically proven chronic active hepatitis six years ago. She had abnormal elevation of immunoglobulins IgG, IgM, and IgA, decreased level of complement C4 and a positive test for HLA-B8. The SGOT was persistently mildly elevated, but her latest liver biopsy (6 years after onset) showed only changes of chronic persistent hepatitis. She had good symptomatic and histological (jejunal biopsy) improvement with gluten-free diet.
