[Infections in early life as risk factor for coeliac disease].

Introduction: Among the environmental factors that can affect the pathological response to gluten in coeliac disease (CD), the factors that influence the immune response, such as infections and use of antibiotics, are proposed. Our objective is to determine the relationship between infections in early life and the risk of CD.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective case-control study, including patients aged 0-16 years with a diagnosis of CD was performed between the years 2014-2018.
