*If you see acute inflammatory cells, i.e. neutrophils, consider Giardiasis and other infectious etiologies.
<pre>
*Biopsy should consist of 2-3 sites.  In children it is important to sample the duodenal cap, as it is the only affected site in ~10% of cases.
DUODENUM, BIOPSY:
*Flat lesions without IELs are unlikely to be celiac sprue.
- CONSISTENT WITH BRUNNER'S GLAND HYPERPLASIA.
*Mucosa erosions are rare in celiac sprue; should prompt consideration of an alternate diagnosis (infection, medications, Crohn's disease).
- SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT PATHOLOGY.
</pre>


===Grading===
<pre>
Rarely done - see ''[[celiac sprue]]'' article.
DUODENUM, BIOPSY:
- SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT PATHOLOGY.
- PROMINENT BRUNNER'S GLANDS WITH EXTENSION INTO THE LAMINA PROPRIA.
</pre>


==Giardiasis==
====Superficial Brunner's glands====
===Etiology===
<pre>
*Flagellate protozoan ''Giardia lamblia''.
DUODENUM, BIOPSY:
- SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA WITH BRUNNER'S GLANDS THAT ARE FOCALLY SUPERFICIAL.
- NO FINDINGS SUGGESTIVE OF CELIAC DISEASE.
- NEGATIVE FOR ACTIVE INFLAMMATION.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA.
</pre>
 
====Micro====
The sections show small bowel mucosa and a small amount of submucosa.  Brunner's glands are abundant and found focally in the lamina propria. 
 
The epithelium matures appropriately.  There is no increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes.  No foveolar metaplasia of the epithelium is identified.
