Abstract
The Authors report an epidemiologic prospective screening study that aimed at evaluating the clinical prevalence of coeliac disease in Emilia Romagna region using the rapid test for
coeliac disease (Eu-tTG Quick). 4,414 asymptomatic patients, recruited in the elementary
schools of the region, were involved in the study. So far, data regarding 1,074 patients are available. The Authors discuss the usefulness of the rapid coeliac test in identifying asymptomatic patients and the organization issue that arose during the study. Giving the
high number of asymptomatic patients, the Authors suggest that a screening approach should be preferred to the case finding in coeliac disease.
