ACG Case Rep J. 2015 Jan 16;2(2):92-4. doi: 10.14309/crj.2015.15. eCollection 2015 Jan.

Abstract

Olmesartan sprue-like enteropathy is an adverse drug reaction that mimics the appearance of celiac disease and is related to the use of olmesartan. We present the case of a 71-year-old female with severe enteropathy attributed to celiac disease for 5 years that improved only after valsartan cessation. This is the first case associating valsartan with sprue-like enteropathy.
