Microscopic examination reveals coeliac disease involves small intestinal mucosal lesions, including epithelial changes and inflammation. Early signs show increased lymphocytes, potentially leading to villous atrophy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Coeliac disease is an immune-mediated enteropathy triggered by gluten.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on characteristic small intestinal mucosal changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the microscopic diagnosis of coeliac disease.
  • To describe the spectrum of mucosal lesions in coeliac disease.

Main Methods:

  • Histopathological examination of small intestinal biopsies.
  • Analysis of epithelial and inflammatory alterations.

Main Results:

  • Coeliac disease lesions involve epithelial changes and inflammatory infiltrates.
  • Early microscopic findings include increased intraepithelial lymphocytes.

  • Progressive changes can lead to villous atrophy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Microscopic assessment is crucial for diagnosing coeliac disease.
    • Understanding the progression of mucosal lesions aids diagnosis and management.
