What can we do? 1. Collaboration with specialised centers abroad • Sending blood samples or saliva for HLA • Sending images of intestinal biopsy • Training for biopsy by capsule (for children< 3 y)
First collaboration with Naples This is a biopsy of a child who is suspected for coeliac disease.Biopsy is performed in Albania and the images are interpreted in Naples The biopsy is within the normal limit. The ratio villi/criptae is difficult to measure, because of orientation problem of the sample, but in the observed villi it appears normal, The number of Intra-Epithelial Lymphocytes if around 20% : quite normal. The mitosis in the crypts are rare (slow proliferation).
Collaboration is necessary for small centers Naples Tirana
Great news from Albania! • In March 2012 we have created the first Albanian Coeliac Association (ACA)
