Objective: Cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) during treatment with interleukin (IL)-17 antagonists have been reported from trials in psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. The aim of this study was to assess the overall risk for development of IBD due to IL-17 inhibition.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies conducted 2010-2018 of treatment with IL-17 antagonists in patients with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Background: Refractory coeliac disease, enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma and small bowel adenocarcinoma are rare but prognostically important complications in coeliac disease.
Aim: To analyse potential changes in occurrence of complicated coeliac disease over the last 25 years.
Methods: One thousand one hundred and thirty eight patients were included and evaluated based on their time of first presentation at the Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
We report on an adult patient with cystic fibrosis after double-lung transplantation under triple immunosuppression with non-specific abdominal symptoms and a pancreatic cystic tumor, resulting in the diagnosis of an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas. Pancreatic cysts in adult patients with cystic fibrosis, especially after transplantation, merit close attention and thorough investigation.

- A detailed assessment of duodenal biopsies by pathologists is crucial for accurately diagnosing celiac disease (CelD), as inaccuracies can lead to misdiagnosis.
- In a study involving 52 patients suspected of misdiagnosis, the original diagnosis was only confirmed in 27% of cases, with the quality of histological evaluations being significantly lower in dismissed diagnoses.
- Implementing a histology quality score (HQS) can help physicians better evaluate biopsy reports, reducing false-positive rates and improving diagnostic accuracy for celiac disease.
