Abstract
Seventeen cases of cœliac disease have been found in children of Asian immigrants. Their parents all originated from the Punjab or West Pakistan, and it is possible that these communities may have a frequency of childhood cœliac disease comparable to that found in White children in Britain. Six of the seventeen children (35%) had active rickets; it is suggested that cœliac disease may be an ætiological factor in some cases of rickets in immigrant children.
