| Abstract |
This communication briefly describes a study of IgG and IgA antigliadin antibody levels in 158 millers and bakers exposed to flour dust and having no diagnosed or reported signs of coeliac disease. IgG and IgA were positive in 37% and 21% of exposed subjects respectively (2% and 5% in a control group). Data indicate that the occupational status of individuals with such serum antibodies should be considered when interpreting screening tests for coeliac disease. |
