Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) diagnosis is becoming more difficult as patients with no intestinal histology lesions may also be suffering from CD. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of anti-endomysium (EmA) assay in the culture medium of intestinal biopsies for CD diagnosis.
