Sensibilità al glutine: il test di attivazione dei basofili (BAT) può aiutare nella diagnosi differenziale?
Gluten hypersensitivity: basophil activation test (BAT) may help in the differential diagnosis
<p>Gluten hypersensitivity: basophil activation test (BAT) may help in the differential diagnosis? The main forms of gluten-related disorders are wheat allergy (WA), celiac disease (CD) and possibly immune-mediated disease (gluten sensitivity). S-IgE play an essential role in WA. For CD tests available are anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA, anti-endomysium (EMA) and deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP) antibodies IgG particular. For other immunemediated diseases there is currently no test available. The usefulness of basophil activation test (BAT) in anaphylactic adverse reactions, late-onset allergy has been demonstrated. We report the case of a woman of 46 years old with disorders of wheat tied overt clinical signs, intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms, whose tests above were all negative. Only the BAT showed a stimulation of basophils exposed (52.9%) to extract wheat. We diagnosed gluten sensitivity (GS) on the basis of an algorithm for the differential diagnosis of gluten-related disorders, including CD, GS and WA. We believe that the BAT confirms a hypersensitivity reaction to wheat not-IgE-mediated, not CD.</p>
