Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten and affects about 1% of the population worldwide. This thesis examines celiac disease and its associations with infections. The approach has mainly been epidemiological and register-based but also a possible explanatory mechanism has been investigated.

In conclusion the thesis supports associations between celiac disease and infections (both before and after diagnosis), however, further research regarding explanatory mechanisms is needed.
