Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated disorder with wide clinical spectrum. Its association with autoimmune diseases has been reported in several studies but coexistence with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is rare. Case Report: We report a case of 47-year-old female who developed simultaneously symptoms of Celiac disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. Conclusion: The association of CD and SLE has been rarely reported and it may be explained by the sharing of a common pathogenic basis involving genetic susceptibility and overlap of autoantibodies.
