OBJECTIVES: Recent studies from several countries have shown that coeliac 
disease (CD) is increasingly being diagnosed in adults, as the availability of 
new, accurate serologic tests has made screening in the general population 
possible. No data exist regarding the prevalence of CD in Greece. The aim of 
this study was the implementation of a serologic screening procedure for CD in 
the adult general population of Thessaly, an area of central Greece, using a 
novel diagnostic algorithm.

Two of them were considered to be asymptomatic and two presented with a 
subclinical course. All four had the heterodimer HLA-DQ2. 
CONCLUSIONS: This first serological screening study for CD in Greece has 
demonstrated that CD prevalence in Thessaly is among the lowest reported in 
Europe.
