متن کاملPrevalence and clinical features of indeterminate colitis in Mexico: a 17-year study.

Epidemiological data from some series have reported that IC is diagnosed in between 9% and 20% of colectomy specimens. AIM To determine the prevalence of ...
متن کاملCapsule endoscopy in inflammatory bowel disease type unclassified and indeterminate colitis serologically negative.
BACKGROUND The value of capsule endoscopy in the setting of inflammatory bowel disease type unclassified (IBDU) and indeterminate colitis (IC) remains obscure. The aim was to evaluate the clinical impact of capsule endoscopy on IBDU/IC patients with negative serology. METHODS Eighteen patients with long-standing IBDU (n = 14) and IC (n = 4) were enrolled to undergo a capsule endoscopy and the...
