- Abstract
Occult celiac disease has been reported in 0 to 6% of adults presenting with iron-deficiency anemia.

To more accurately define the true prevalence of this disorder in patients presenting with iron-deficiency anemia (with or without stool hemoccult positivity), we initiated this prospective study.
