Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and celiac disease (CD) belong to the autoimmune disease family. Even though these diseases are separate entities, they share multiple aspects. This association has rarely been reported. We had the opportunity to study the case of a patient with CD and RA.Keywords:
