Interpretation: Most (90%-95%) patients with celiac disease have the DQ2 allele (encoded by
DQA1*05 and DQB1*02), while the remainder have DQ8 (encoded by DQA1*03:01 and DQB1*03:02).
Rare exceptions to these associations have been occasionally seen. In 1 study of celiac disease, only 0.7%
of patients with celiac disease lacked the HLA alleles mentioned above. It is important to realize that
these genes also are present in about 20% of people without celiac disease. Therefore, the mere presence
of these genes does not prove the presence of celiac disease or that genetic susceptibility to celiac disease
is present.

Cell Count and Differential, Body Fluid
Clinical Information: Body fluids, other than the commonly analyzed urine and blood, include
synovial, pleural, peritoneal, and pericardial fluids. These fluids may be present in increased volumes
and/or may contain increased numbers of normal and/or abnormal cells in a variety of disease states.
Useful For: An aid in the diagnosis of joint disease, systemic disease, inflammation, malignancy,
infection, and trauma
Interpretation: Trauma and hemorrhage may result in increased red and white cells; red cells
predominate. White blood cells are increased in inflammatory and infectious processes: -Neutrophils
predominate in bacterial infections -Lymphocytes predominate in viral infections -Macrophages may be
increased in inflammatory and infectious processes -Eosinophils may be increased in parasitic or fungal
infections
