摘要
Fifteen patients with intestinal villous atrophy, but simultaneously negative results of antiendomysial antibodies (EMA) were studied. Two patients were final ly diagnosed as having coeliac disease. The predictive value of negative results of EMA ass essment in children suspected of coeliac disease is high, approaching 86.7%.
