AIM: Tropical sprue was considered to be the most important cause of malabsorption in adults in India. However, several reports indicate that celiac disease is now recognized more frequently.
METHODS: We analyzed the clinical presentation, endoscopic and histological features of 94 consecutive patients (age >12 years) with chronic diarrhea and malabsorption syndrome. The spectrum of disease in these patients and features differentiating celiac disease and tropical sprue are reported here.
RESULTS: Celiac disease (n = 61, 65%) was the most common cause of malabsorption followed by tropical sprue (21, 22%). Other conditions including cyclosporiasis (3), Crohn's disease (2), common variable immunodeficiency (2), lymphangiectasia (1), William's syndrome (1), and idiopathic malabsorption (3) accounted for the remainder. A greater number (21, 34%) of patients with celiac disease than those with tropical sprue (4, 19%) presented with atypical manifestations. Patients with celiac disease were younger (p = 0.001), more often had anemia, (p = 0.001), scalloping of folds (p = 0.001), moderate (p = 0.02) or severe (p = 0.001) villous atrophy, higher grade of intraepithelial lymphocytic infiltration (p = 0.001), crypt hyperplasia (p = 0.001), cuboidal (p = 0.001) and pseudostratified (p = 0.009) surface epithelial cells, and diffuse (p = 0.001) epithelial damage. In comparison, patients with tropical sprue were older and more often had normal duodenal folds, normal villi, tall columnar epithelial cells and focal epithelial damage.
CONCLUSIONS: Celiac disease was the most frequent cause of malabsorption syndrome in this series of patients. There are significant clinical and histological differences between celiac disease and tropical sprue.
