What
is Crohn's Disease?
Crohn's disease
is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines. It primarily causes
ulcerations in the small and large intestines, but can affect the digestive
system anywhere between the mouth and the anus.
It is named after
the physician who described the disease in a landmark paper written in
1932. It is also called Morbus Crohn's, Granulomatous enteritis, Regional
enteritis, or Terminal ileitis. The disease is found in equal frequency
in men and women, and usually affects young patients in their teens or
early twenties.
Once the disease begins,
it tends to be a chronic, recurrent condition with periods of remission
and disease exacerbation. The disease tends to be more common in relatives
of patients with Crohn's disease. To learn more,CLICK
