Crohn's Disease: A Multidisciplinary Approach


Crohn’s
disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, whose symptoms are similar to
other intestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and
ulcerative colitis; it can therefore be difficult to diagnose. Its
knowledge and understanding have increased considerably in the last
years; new advances in genetics, medical and surgical management offer
today new possibilities for patients suffering from an inflammatory
bowel disease. However, Crohn’s disease remains a difficult disease to
deal with, both from a research and clinical point of view.
This book provides general practitioners with a basic knowledge of the
disease, offering in the same time an update on new facts about Crohn’s
disease to specialists. It can also be useful for residents willing to
develop a deeper knowledge of inflammatory bowel diseases
