Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are idiopathic, lifelong, chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which typically manifest during late childhood or young adulthood. The physical and psychological burden of these chronic, relapsing diseases and their devastating effects may be considerable. CD and UC are grouped together in view of their many similarities in epidemiologic, genetic, immunologic, and clinical features. Diagnostic approaches are similar, but treatment approaches and prognoses differ.
