Abstract
Autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) is an entity reported primarily in infancy, resulting in intractable diarrhea and associated with small bowel villous atrophy and the presence of circulating anti-enterocyte (AEA) antibodies. It is a multisystem disorder with a response, in many cases, to immunosuppressive therapy.
