Abstract
Autoimmune enteropathy characteristically presents in infancy with protracted diarrhea. Underlying disorders of immune function, including regulatory T cells, must be excluded. Treatment options include nutritional rehabilitation, immune suppression, and, in select cases, bone marrow transplant. Copyright © 2006 Nestec Ltd., Vevey/S. Karger AG, Basel
