Core Tip Only limited data on the prevalence of celiac disease in the adult European population are available. Aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of celiac disease in a randomly selected population sample in Germany and to assess the sensitivity and specificity of antibody tests. Eight of 2157 (1:270) subjects tested positive for celiac disease. Tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin-A antibody yielded a sensitivity of 62.5% (specifity 50.0%), endomysium antibody of 62.5% (71.4%) and antigliadin antibody of 62.5% (71.4%). The prevalence rate lies within comparable European study results. The use of a single antibody test for screening purposes must be questioned.
