Although they are different illnesses they are sometimes difficult to tell apart. Crohn's disease Crohn's disease is usually characterised by inflammation of one or more areas of the digestive tract, with normal areas of gut in between. It can occur anywhere from the mouth to the anus but most commonly in the small and large intestine. This inflammation may lead to ulceration, abscesses and strictures in the bowel. It is a chronic (long lasting) condition which can wax and wane over a period of months and years. So far there is no cure but treatment can produce a symptom-free remission. Oral Crohn's affecting the mouth and lips, occurs quite frequently in children and may occur with or without any involvement of the digestive tract. With Crohn's disease the symptoms are extremely variable and can include severe abdominal pain (sometimes mistaken for appendicitis), vomiting, nausea, persistent diarrhoea (possibly with blood and/or mucus), constipation, dramatic weight loss, tiredness, anaemia and mouth ulceration. Sometimes the symptoms may not initially suggest bowel disease at all, with the child or young adult feeling very lethargic with a loss of appetite, joint pains, skin rash or even a failure to grow or develop pubertally.

Multiple Sclerosis Info Crohn's Disease Info Crohn's Disease Information Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the digestive tract and it can involve any part of it - from the mouth to the anus. It typically affects the terminal ileum as well as demarcated areas of large bowel, with other areas of the bowel being relatively unaffected. It is often associated with auto-immune disorders outside the bowel, such as aphthous stomatitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Crohn's disease should not be confused with a non-progressive and non-degenerative digestive disorder called irritable bowel syndrome. IBS is not an autoimmune disease. Ulcerative colitis is a sibling autoimmune disease to Crohn's but only impacts the colon while Crohn's can impact any part of the digestive tract. Furthermore, Crohn's tends to impact multiple layers of the bowel lining which can lead to many additional and hard-to-treat complications. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are quite distinct diseases but in practice there are sometimes difficulties distinguishing between them, especially in mild cases - these are usually simply classified as "chronic inflammatory bowel disease" or "indeterminate colitis".

In 1999, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released the latest figures on the incidence of US foodborne illness considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be the most complete estimate ever compiled. Seventy-six million Americans every year get food poisoning, more than double the previous estimate. In today's food safety lottery there's a 1 in 4 chance you'll get sick, a 1 in 840 chance you'll be hospitalized, and a 1 in 55,000 chance that an American will die from foodborne illness annually.

Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) February 17, 2005 Sponsored by: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose This multi-center study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) for treating Crohn's disease symptoms. ECP is a procedure in which white blood cells are collected by leukapheresis (see below) and treated with ultraviolet A (UVA) light (a wavelength invisible to the human eye) in a process called photopheresis. The treated cells are returned to the body, where they cause changes in other similar cells. ECP is approved for treating skin symptoms in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (cancer of white blood cells called lymphocytes), and it has been used experimentally in other conditions where white cells are involved in abnormal inflammation. In a previous preliminary study of, 8 of 10 Crohn's patients treated with ECP were able to stop taking steroids while keeping their symptoms under control. This study will assess this treatment in a larger number of patients. Patients 18 years of age and older who have had Crohn's disease for at least 6 months, have failed treatment with immunosuppressants, are taking corticosteroids, have active symptoms, are not pregnant, and weigh at least 40 kg (88 pounds) may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram, blood tests, and urine pregnancy test for women who can bear children. Candidates also complete a 32-item questionnaire about how Crohn's disease affects their life and activities and fill out diary cards measuring the severity of their symptoms for 7 days.
