Purpose: Celiac disease, an autoimmune enteropathy triggered by exposure to gluten, is not uncommon in South Jordan. However, its prevalence is underestimated due to lack of physician awareness of the diversity of disease presentation. The clinical spectrum includes classic gastrointestinal manifestations, as well as rickets, iron-defi-ciency anemia, short stature, elevated liver enzymes, and edema. Our goal was to evaluate celiac disease pre-sentation in clinically diagnosed children.Methods: Retrospective study included all children diagnosed with celiac disease between September 2009 and September 2015. Hospital charts were reviewed. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, and follow-up were recorded.Results: Thirty-five children were diagnosed with celiac disease during the study period. Mean age±standard devia-tion was 6.7±3.8 years (range, 2.0-14 years). There were 17 (48.6%) female patients. The average duration between onset of symptoms and diagnosis was 16.3±18.7 months. Fifteen (42.9%) patients presented with classic mal-absorption symptoms, whereas 7 (20.0%) patients presented with short stature. Positive tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTg)-immunoglobulin A (IgA) was seen in 34 (97.1%) patients. The one patient with negative tTg-IgA had IgA deficiency. Although tTG-IgA values were not available for objective documentation of compliance, clinical data (resolution of presenting abnormalities and growth improvement) assured acceptable compliance in 22 (62.9%) patients.Conclusion: CD in children may present with diverse picture. Although of the small number, the non-classical pre-sentations are not uncommon in our rural community. Gluten-free diet is the main strategy for treatment and asso-ciated with usually correction of laboratory abnormalities and improvement of growth.
