Abstract

Arthritis can occur in association with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis). It usually affects a large lower extremity joint and often occurs when the bowel disease is flaring. Arthritis and Crohn’s disease together may be a cause of distress in the sufferer. Sometimes the arthritis manifestations are the first symptoms that appear and they bring the patient to clinical controls. The authors de- scribe their study effected on 45 patient affections by disease of Crohn that has pre- sented arthritic manifestations.
