NARCISO-SCHIAVON, Janaina Luz  y  LUCCA-SCHIAVON, Leonardo de. Hepatitis B and Celiac Disease: A Cause for Concern?. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.4, pp.479-485.  Epub 26-Feb-2024. ISSN 0120-9957.  https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.1016.

Some theories suggest that the development of the immune response to clear hepatitis B triggers the intestinal tissue damage seen in celiac disease in genetically predisposed individuals. Although the role of hepatitis B virus infection in the development of autoimmune diseases has been widely discussed in the literature, it remains a controversial topic. Our objective is to review whether there is an association between hepatitis B and celiac disease and the particularities of vaccination against hepatitis B in celiac patients.

Palabras clave : Hepatitis B; celiac disease; interferon alfa; vaccine.
