  1. Celiac.com 10/03/2022 - In addition to their usual season pitch to seniors, doctors are recommending that people with celiac disease get a pneumonia vaccine. People with celiac disease face a greater risk for pneumonia than non-celiacs. However, about seventy-five percent of celiac patients fail to get a pneumonia vaccine after they are diagnosed, writes a research team in the journal Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics. The recommendation stems from the team's 2016 study, in which the researchers used data on English patients collected between 1997 and 2011, including 9,803 with celiac disease and a comparison group of 101,755 people without celiac. The study was conducted by F. Zingone, A. Abdul Sultan, C. J. Crooks, L. J. Tata, C. Ciacci, and J. West, who are variously affiliated with the Division of Epidemiology and Public Health, University of Nottingham, City Hospital, Nottingham, UK; and the Coeliac center, Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Salerno, Salerno, Italy. They found that, even though people with and without celiac disease had pneumonia at similar rates, people under age 65 with a celiac diagnosis, who didn’t get a pneumonia vaccine were nearly thirty-percent more likely to get pneumonia than those who were vaccinated. The problem may be related to impaired spleen function. Celiac disease can cause spleen issues for up to a third of patients, which may put them at greater risk for infections. Spleen function does tend to improve for celiacs on a gluten-free diet, which is another reason early diagnosis and quick adoption of a gluten-free diet is essential to a good prognosis. Dr. Shamez Ladhani of Public Health England in London, who was not involved in the study, told reporters for Reuters that "getting a flu vaccine can also help protect against bacterial infections like pneumonia," and also recommended that patients with spleen problems should get a flu vaccine every year and the pneumonia vaccine every five years.

  2. Celiac.com 11/23/2020 - Since March 2020, when the World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) a global pandemic, researchers and laypeople have been wondering if people with certain health conditions, such as celiac disease, might face a higher risk for contracting Covid-19. Celiac disease is a chronic immune-mediated gastrointestinal condition triggered by gluten, which numerous studies have shown to be associated with an elevated risk of respiratory infection. A team of researchers recently set out to determine whether celiac disease patients have a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. The research team included Jamie Zhen, Juan Pablo Stefanolo, Maria de la Paz Temprano, Sebastian Tedesco, Caroline Seiler, Alberto Fernandez Caminero, Enrique de-Madaria, Miguel Montoro Huguet, Santiago Vivas, Sonia Isabel Niveloni, Premysl Bercik, Edgardo Smecuol, Luis Uscanga, Elena Trucco, Virginia Lopez, Carolina Olano, Pasquale Mansueto, Antonio Carroccio, Peter H. R. Green, Andrew Day, Jason Tye-Din, Julio Cesar Bai, Carolina Ciacci, Elena Verdu, Benjamin Lebwohl, and Maria Ines Pinto-Sanchez. At this writing, the world has seen over 34 million cases of COVID-19, and more than 1 million deaths worldwide. The United States has seen over 11 million cases of Covid-19, and 250,000 deaths, with rising numbers and no end in sight. The research team carried out a cross-sectional study to determine whether patients with self-reported celiac disease have an increased risk of contracting COVID-19. Between March and June 2020, the team used local celiac disease associations, electronic newsletters, and social media to recruit patients of all ages with a self-reported celiac disease, and non-celiacs, from different countries including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Uruguay, and the United States. For the study, the volunteers answered forty-one questions in a web-based survey that was available in English, Spanish and Italian using the approach proposed by Mallinckrodt and Wang. The researchers used RedCap to gather data on demographics, gluten-free diet (GFD), symptomatology, and COVID-19 testing. They used SPSS version 25 (IBM, Armonk, NY) for statistical analyses, and then compared continuous and categorical variables using the Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test. They also performed logistic regression to gauge the influence of various factors on the likelihood of reporting a positive COVID-19 test. Independent variables included celiac disease diagnosis, age, gender, comorbidities, gluten-free diet adherence, extra precautions, and previous COVID-19 exposure. The unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios showed 95% confidence intervals. People with celiac disease tend to have more comorbidities including respiratory, cardiac, and diabetes, compared with control subjects. Patients with celiac disease were significantly less likely to have been tested for, and to have been exposed to, COVID-19, compared with control subjects. Just under 9% of of 940 participants tested for positive for COVID-19. Overall, celiac patients do not face any higher risk of contracting Covid-19 than control subjects. This analysis should provide some assurance to people with celiac disease and to clinicians that patients with celiac disease have about the same likelihood of contracting Covid-19 as the general population. However, this study did not look at whether people who have celiac disease have worse outcomes than those who do have it, and unfortunately there is some evidence that indicates that this may be the case. With Covid-19 cases higher than ever and rising, we encourage everyone to take precautions and be safe.

  4. Celiac.com 04/11/2020 - We know that people with celiac disease have higher risk of bacterial pneumonia, especially those who have not received a vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia, which is recommended for everyone with celiac disease, even if you are young. However, we don't have any good information on whether people with celiac disease might be at higher risk for viral pneumonia, which is of special interest, given the outbreak of coronavirus. Do people with celiac disease have higher risk of getting cover? Are they at greater risk for viral pneumonia? Numerous people with celiac disease have sought guidance on these and related issues from clinicians, but there's been no study so far on celiac disease and viral pneumonia risk. There have also been no studies on celiac disease and coronavirus. Without data, there's only guesswork. The questions are serious enough for researchers to make a push to gather data related to celiac disease, COVID-19, and viral pneumonia risk. Benjamin Lebwohl, MD, MS, Director of Clinical Research, The Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University and colleagues have set up an online, confidential, de-identified secure registry for doctors worldwide to report cases of those with celiac disease who get Covid-19. The registry entry should be done by health care practitioners only, not patients. Dr. Lebwohl specifically mentions the increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia in people with celiac disease as one reason to look for any elevated viral pneumonia risk in celiacs, among other risks. A recent email from Dr. Lebwohl to fellow celiac researchers reads as follows: Stay tuned for more developments on this and related stories.

  5. Celiac.com 03/18/2019 - There have been a few studies linking celiac disease to a higher risk of pneumonia and other related bacterial infections, but good data is still lacking. In an effort to clarify the picture a team of researchers recently set out to assess the risk of hospitalization for bacterial pneumonia or pneumococcal infections in a cohort of young individuals with celiac disease, compared to matched references. In all, the team looked at 213,635 residents of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, who were born in between 1989 and 2012. The team used various medical records to identify 1,294 celiac patients, along with 6,470 control patients, and to match them by age and sex. The team looked for hospital admissions for first-time cases of bacterial pneumonia and pneumococcal infection. They used Cox regression to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) for cases after celiac diagnosis, and conditional logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (OR) for cases prior to celiac diagnosis. They conducted further analyses of periods of unvaccinated follow-up. They found a total of 14 celiac patients, from a data pool totaling 9,450 person-years, who had suffered a first episode of bacterial pneumonia, compared with 42 reference subjects from nearly 50,000 person-years. People with celiac disease showed a much higher risk of bacterial pneumonia before celiac diagnosis. This risk is especially high in the year before celiac diagnosis. Celiac patients showed an insignificantly higher risk of pneumococcal infection. Children and youth with celiac disease show a substantially higher risk of bacterial pneumonia, especially in the year before celiac diagnosis. Based on the data, the researcher recommend anti-pneumococcal vaccination for all young celiac patients. Read more at Digestive and Liver Disease.

  7. Celiac.com 06/22/2016 - Doctors generally recommend that celiac disease patients receive pneumococcal vaccination, but little has been done to quantify risk levels. A team of researchers recently set out to quantify the risk of community-acquired pneumonia among patients with celiac disease, assessing whether vaccination against streptococcal pneumonia modified this risk. The research team included F. Zingone, A. Abdul Sultan, C. J. Crooks, L. J. Tata, C. Ciacci & J. West. They are variously affiliated with the Division of Epidemiology and PublicHealth, University of Nottingham, CityHospital, Nottingham, UK, and with the Coeliac center within the Department of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Salerno in Salerno, Italy. Their team identified all patients with celiac disease within the Clinical Practice Research Datalink linked with English Hospital Episodes Statistics between April 1997 and March 2011 and up to 10 controls per patient with celiac disease frequency matched in 10-year age bands. They calculated absolute rates of community-acquired pneumonia for patients with celiac disease compared to controls stratified by vaccination status and time of diagnosis using Cox regression in terms of adjusted hazard ratios (HR). They found 1,864 first community-acquired pneumonia events among the 101,755 control patients, and 179 among the 9,803 celiac patients. Overall, absolute rates of pneumonia were similar, with celiac patients at 3.42, and control subjects at 3.12 per 1000 person-years respectively (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.91–1.24). However, they found a 28% increased risk of pneumonia in unvaccinated celiac disease subjects compared to unvaccinated control subjects (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.02–1.60). Interestingly, this increased risk was limited to those younger than 65, was highest around the time of diagnosis and was maintained for more than 5 years after diagnosis. Only 26.6% underwent vaccination after their celiac disease diagnosis. Unvaccinated celiac patients under the age of 65 have an excess risk of community-acquired pneumonia that was not seen in vaccinated celiac patients. More patients with celiac disease need to be vaccinated to protect them from pneumonia. Source: Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2016; 44: 57–67.
  8. Celiac.com 09/14/2015 - People with celiac disease have slightly higher risk for contracting pneumonia, especially in the first year after diagnosis. The study was conducted a team that included Joe West, MD, an epidemiologist and honorary consultant gastroenterologist at the University of Nottingham. The study found that people with celiac disease who are unvaccinated against pneumococcus are about 30% more likely to develop community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) than are unvaccinated people without celiac disease. Dr. West says the increased risk is likely due to weakened spleen function in people with celiac disease. This elevated risk was not seen in vaccinated celiac patients, or people over 65 years of age. The results of the study suggest that clinicians be extra vigilant about vaccinating celiac patients, and health officials in the United Kingdom are now recommend that people with celiac disease receive pneumococcus vaccinations.
