Is acute gastroenteritis followed by an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease?
Our results are compatible with the hypothesis that infectious agents causing an episode of infectious gastroenteritis could play a role in the initiation and/or exacerbation of IBD.
Ultrasonography can be used to detect AIC and AMC, and could be useful for the early detection of VC. In nondiabetic patients who had been on hemodialysis for at least 5 years, older age was associated with AIC, and elevated CRP levels with AMC.
