Is the rapid whole blood test useful for diagnosis and monitoring celiac disease in children? Context: 57 children, 20 of them were CD patients on a gluten-free diet and 37 were under suspicion of CD were enrolled. IgAATG was detected by the conventional ELISA test and the new rapid whole blood test. Concordance between the 2 tests was 96.4%. All patients positive with ELISA were also positive by the rapid test. Only 2 patients were slightly positive by the rapid test and negative by ELISA.

Whole blood rapid test seems to be as performant as ELISA test for IgAATG detection.
