The '''duodenum''' is the first part of the [[small bowel]] and receives food from the [[stomach]].  It is accessible by EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) and frequently biopsied.

====Clinical====
Treatment:
*Gluten free diet.
**''Mnemonic'': BROW = barley, rye, oats, wheat.
Serologic testing:
*Anti-transglutaminase antibody.
**Alternative test: anti-endomysial antibody.
*IgA -- assoc. with celiac sprue.
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_PBoD843>{{Ref PBoD|843}}</ref>
*Intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) - '''key feature'''.
**Should be more pronounced at tips of villi.<ref name=pmid15280404>{{cite journal |author=Biagi F, Luinetti O, Campanella J, ''et al.'' |title=Intraepithelial lymphocytes in the villous tip: do they indicate potential coeliac disease? |journal=J.

*Loss of villi - '''important feature'''.
**Normal duodenal biopsy should have 3 good villi.
*Plasma cells - abundant (weak feature).
*Macrophages.
*Mitosis increased (in the crypts).
*+/-Collagen band (pink material in mucosa) - "Collagenous sprue"; must encompass ~25% of mucosa.
Image:
*[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coeliac_path.jpg Celiac sprue (WC)].
Notes:
*If you see acute inflammatory cells, i.e. neutrophils, consider Giardiasis and other infectious etiologies.
*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.
*Flat lesions without IELs are unlikely to be celiac sprue.
*Mucosa erosions are rare in celiac sprue; should prompt consideration of an alternate diagnosis (infection, medications, Crohn's disease).
===Grading===
Rarely done - see ''[[celiac sprue]]'' article.


==Giardiasis==
==Giardiasis==
===General===
{{Main|Giardiasis}}
*Etiology:
**Flagellate protozoan ''Giardia lamblia''.
 
*Treatment
**Antibiotics, e.g. metronidazole (Flagyl).
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*+/-Loss of villi.
*Intraepithelial lymphocytes.
**+Other inflammatory cells, especially PMNs, close to the luminal surface.
*Flagellate protozoa -- '''diagnostic feature'''.
**Organisms often at site of bad inflammation.
**Pale/translucent on H&E.
**Size: 12-15 micrometers (long axis) x 6-10 micrometers (short axis) -- if seen completely.<ref>[http://www.water-research.net/Giardia.htm http://www.water-research.net/Giardia.htm]</ref>
***Often look like a crescent moon ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crescent_Moon.JPG image of crescent moon]) or semicircular<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircle]</ref> -- as the long axis of the organism is rarely in the plane of the (histologic) section.
