Abstract
Comorbidity is the coexistence of two or more diseases in one patient, interconnected pathogenetically and genetically. Such cases always require an individualized treatment approach. In addition, it can be difficult to find a patient with a similar set of diseases and a positive experience of their treatment to support decisions in challenging cases. The article focuses on two diseases, alopecia and celiac disease, which, coexisting in one child, challenge adequate therapy choice due to the late diagnosis of one of them. The clinical case of a child with alopecia and celiac disease illustrates the issues of comorbidity for the patient and doctors, the mutual impact of the two diseases on the course of the pathological process, and the effectiveness of therapy.
