  • Title: Ulcerative ileojejunitis associated with pulmonary fibrosis and polymyositis.
    Author: Coupe MO, Barnard ML, Stamp G, Hodgson HJ.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1988 Jun; 35(3):144-6. PubMed ID: 3402905.
    Abstract:
    Ulcerative ileojejunitis is a rare condition. We describe a patient who developed this on a background of longstanding celiac disease. Long-term remission has been maintained on corticosteroids. Recently polymyositis and an inflammatory alveolitis have developed, both responding to a higher dose of prednisolone. Relationships between celiac disease and ulcerative ileojejunitis, polymyositis and fibrosing alveolitis have been previously described, and it is of interest that an auto-immune pathophysiology has been implicated in each of these conditions.
