Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to a group of
disorders characterised by chronic, relapsing inflammation in
the gut.The main forms of IBD are Cronn's disease (CD) and
ulcerative colitis (UC). The clinical course of both diseases
can range from a mild form, in which the patient reaches
long term remission without taking permanent medication, to
a chronic active form, in which remission is only reached by
permanently taking immunosuppressives and/orbioloqicals.'
Approximately 61,000 Australians have lBO, with 1600new
cases diagnosed each year. 2lBD can bediagnosed at any
age, but has a peak onset between 15to 40years.
