Rare association of celiac disease with myasthenia gravis in a patient with other immune disorders: a case report.

Background: Celiac disease is described in association with several autoimmune diseases, but rarely with myasthenia gravis.

Case Report: We describe the case of a 31-year-old white woman with celiac disease who presented manifestations related to a hyperactive immune system, including macroamylasemia, false-positive anti-HCV, positive antinuclear antibody, and Raynaud's phenomenon. The introduction of a gluten-free diet (GFD) resolved these features, but myasthenia gravis (MG) symptoms unexpectedly occurred on that occasion.
