ABSTRACT

To date, it has not been described that celiac disease (CD) increases the risk of contagion by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 nor the severity of the disease. The main risk factors for severe disease for this coronavirus are old male patients (> 65 years) with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, smoking, lung, cardiovascular and kidney diseases. The only treatment for CD is a gluten-free diet that improves the intestinal immune response. Adherence to treatment and follow-up of recommendations by experts during the COVID-19 period, would ensure celiac patients are better prepared for this pandemic.


Hasta la fecha no se ha descrito que la enfermedad celíaca (EC) incremente el riesgo de contagio por el nuevo coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 ni la gravedad de la enfermedad. Los principales factores de riego de enfermedad grave para este coronavirus son pacientes mayores de 65 años de sexo masculino con hipertensión, diabetes, obesidad, tabaquismo, y enfermedades pulmonar, cardiovascular y renal. El único tratamiento de la EC es la dieta libre de gluten que mejora la respuesta inmune intestinal. La adherencia al tratamiento y el seguimiento de recomendaciones dadas por expertos durante el período COVID-19, aseguraría a los enfermos celíacos, estar mejor preparados para esta pandemia.
