Background QuestionWhat is Crohn´s disease? Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammation of the intestinal
wall that may affect any part of the digestive tract.
In the past few decades, Crohn's disease has become more common worldwide.
It is most common among populations living in northern climates in developed areas of the world.
It occurs about equally in both sexes, often runs in families. Most people develop Crohn's disease before age 35, usually
between the ages of 15 and 25.
Typical symptoms include chronic diarrhea (which sometimes is bloody), crampy abdominal pain, fever, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
Although Crohn's disease has no known cure, many drugs help reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms. .
