La enfermedad celíaca es una enteropatía inducida por la ingesta de gluten, caracterizada por atrofia vellositaria que revierte tras la retirada del mismo. Un reducido porcentaje de estos pacientes no responden a la dieta exenta de gluten, o bien, tras un período de remisión, sufren una recaída a pesar de cumplir correctamente el tratamiento: es el denominado esprúe no clasificado o esprúe refractario (ER).

El pronóstico del ER es grave: los enfermos pueden fallecer a causa de malabsorción grave o desarrollo de linfoma T asociado a enteropatía (LTAE).

Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 72 años de edad, diagnosticada de ER, que respondió bien al tratamiento con esteroides y dieta exenta de gluten.

Celiac disease is a gluten-sensitive enteropathy characterized by villous atrophy that is reversed by gluten withdrawal. A minority of these patients is resistant to a gluten-free diet or, after a period of remission, they experience relapse despite continued adherence to treatment, which is called unclassified sprue or refractory sprue.

The prognosis of refractory sprue may be poor: patients may die of severe malabsorption or from the development of an enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma.

We report a 72-year-old-woman with a diagnosis of refractory sprue who responded well to treatment with corticosteroids and a gluten-free diet.
