Popis: | (1) Background: Although a meta-analysis reported that the sensitivity of CD3+ TCRγδ+ cells for coeliac disease diagnosis was > 93%, a recent study has suggested that sensitivity decreased to 65% in elderly patients. (2) Aim: To evaluate whether the sensitivity of intraepithelial lymphocyte cytometric patterns for coeliac disease diagnosis changes with advanced age. (3) Methods: We performed a multicentre study including 127 coeliac disease patients ≥ 50 years: 87 with baseline cytometry (45 aged 50–59 years 23 aged 60–69 years 19 aged ≥ 70 years), 16 also with a follow-up cytometry (on a gluten-free diet) and 40 with only follow-up cytometry. (4) Results: In Marsh 3 patients, a sensitivity of 94.7%, 88.9% and 86.7% was observed for each age group using a cut-off value of TCRγδ+ > 10% (p = 0.27) and a sensitivity of 84.2%, 83.4% and 53.3% for a cut-off value > 14% (p = 0.02 50–69 vs. ≥70 years), with difference between applying a cut-off of 10% or 14% (p = 0.008). The TCRγδ+ count in the ≥70 years group was lower than in the other groups (p = 0.014). (5) Conclusion: In coeliac patients ≥ 70 years, the TCRγδ+ count decreases and the cut-off point of > 10% is more accurate than > 14%. |
