Pneumococcal infection in patients with coeliac disease.

Pneumococcal infection in patients with coeliac disease.

OBJECTIVES: Some patients with coeliac disease are hyposplenic. Splenectomy is a risk factor for pneumococcal infection. Our objective was to determine the risk of invasive pneumococcal disease - septicaemia, pneumonia or meningitis - in patients with coeliac disease. METHODS: We analysed routinely...
