For diagnosis and follow-up of celiac disease, pediatric societies advise that intestinal mucosal specimens should be obtained using suction capsule from the jejunum. This procedure is strenuous for patients, time-consuming, expensive and requires radiographic guidance. Mucosal biopsies from the distal duodenum can be obtained more easily under endoscopic vision using forceps. The aim of the present study was to compare biopsies taken from the duodenal mucosa by forceps and from the jejunal mucosa using suction capsule with respect to histological outcome.
