People who have celiac disease (CD) are probably more likely to have thyroid disorders. A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the link between thyroid disorders and CD. Articles were selected from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Ovid, Embase, Cochrane, ProQuest, and Wiley from February 2022 and earlier. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the outcomes, using odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). The meta-analysis comprised 31 articles with 3310256 participants including 101253 individuals with thyroid disorders. Overall, the frequency of thyroid disease was notably higher in patients with CD compared to the control groups (OR: 3.06, 95% CI: 2.51 – 3.72, P<0.001). The findings of our meta-analysis support the notion that patients with CD are more likely to have autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) and other thyroid disorders than the control group, thus indicating that regular screening for thyroid disease is necessary for CD patients. Further cohort research is required to investigate the relationship between thyroid disorders and CD.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) in Mexico is considered an endemic public health problem. Infection in adults is caused 95% of the time by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Although non-invasive diagnostic techniques are the first choice, the diagnostic yield of these techniques does not always allow definitive diagnosis, so sometimes, surgical biopsy is necessary. Objective: To describe two cases of pleural TB with a difficult diagnosis in which non-invasive diagnostic tests were inconclusive. Conclusion: In the presence of pleural or pulmonary nodules or tumors, we should consider TB as a differential diagnosis, as well as in those patients whose clinical suspicion is high and non-invasive methods have not been diagnostic. Therefore, the surgical approach is still an option for these patients.
