Celiac disease is associated with a number of extra-gastrointestinal features such as hepatitis, arthralgia, and recurrent foetal loss. However respiratory involvement is an extremely rare disorder. We report a case of celiac disease revealed by bronchiectasia in a 39-year-old man. The patient reported a history of recurrent pulmonary infections and intermittent intestinal symptoms in childhood. Wegner granulomatosis was initially suspected because of rhinopulmonary involvement. Serum's patient was tested for ANCA and anti-tissue antibodies. The latest test was performed on histological sections from rat and revealed the presence of anti-reticulin antibodies. Further testing, for anti-tissue transglutaminase and anti-endomysium antibodies, revealed positive results. Celiac disease was confirmed by histological examination of intestinal biopsy. Pulmonary symptoms were improved on a gluten free diet suggesting a causal relationship between celiac disease and respiratory symptoms.
