    Abstract : Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronically relapsing immune-related disorders, engaging the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms vary depending on inflammatory phenotype, but may include diarrhoea, bowel pain and weight loss. The two most common entities are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC). READ MORE

  4. 2. Microscopic colitis : studies of epidemiology, clinical features and nitric oxide

    Author : Martin Olesen; Robert Löfberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Lymphocytic colitis (LC) and collagenous colitis (CC) arc newly recognised inflammatory bowel diseases belonging to the group of microscopic colitides (MC). They are characterised clinically by chronic non-bloody and watery diarrhoea, and a macroscopically normal or near normal colonic mucosa where diagnostic histopathological abnormalities are found.

    Author : Johan Bohr; Robert Löfberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Collagenous colitis (CC) is characterised clinically by chronic watery diarrhoea and histopathologically by an increased submucosal collagen layer.

    Abstract : Background: Up to 25% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease have a paediatric onset (PIBD).

    Abstract : Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a common cause of chronic non-bloody diarrhoea, especially in elderly women. There are two main subtypes, lymphocytic colitis (LC) and collagenous colitis (CC) which are clinically indistinguishable and can be separated only by their characteristic histopathological features.
