Turk J Gastroenterol. 2010 Jun;21(2):172-4. doi: 10.4318/tjg.2010.0078.

Abstract

Celiac disease is an immune-mediated enteropathy induced by gluten ingestion in a genetically susceptible patient. It has been associated with various skin lesions but predominantly with dermatitis herpetiformis. Herein, we report another skin lesion, eosinophilic cellulitis, which is an inflammatory dermatitis, in a celiac patient who also had Giardia infestation.
