  • Title: [Clinical picture of celiac disease in children].
    Author: Lavrova TE.
    Journal: Eksp Klin Gastroenterol; 2003; (6):40-5, 153. PubMed ID: 15065527.
    Abstract:
    The celiac disease was first described over one hundred years ago. English doctor S. Gee selected a syndrome characterized by growth inhibition, diarrheas and malabsorption disorders among the group of enteropathies in children in 1888. He assumed that the large intestine was affected in such cases. That is the reason why this disease was called celiac affection. C. Herter described a similar disease in 1908 and called it intestinal infantilism. Only as early as in 1950 Dutch pediatrician W. Dicke described the inability to uptake gluten (a component found in some herbs) as an important reason for chronic intestinal disease in children for the first time. Gluten enteropathy, intestinal infantilism, gluten intolerance, idiopathic steatorrhea, non-tropical sprue and Gee-Heubner-Herter disease are synonyms for celiac affection.
