Abstract
The literature of the past year has produced significant advances relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease. This review focuses on new observations regarding the epidemiology, genetics, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in children. Particular attention is paid to the expanded indications for the use of immunomodulatory therapy, and to the early published data regarding the safety and efficacy of treatment with infliximab.Entities:
