"Several factors make people with coeliac disease prone to severe infections," says Dr Jonas Ludvigsson.
The researchers used hospital records to study the risk of sepsis (blood infection) in people with coeliac disease. They identified 15,325 people with coeliac disease and 14,494 hospital controls, and found a higher risk of sepsis in people with coeliac disease, especially those diagnosed as adults. The study was published in the journal Gut in 2008.
