Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) represents a group of idiopathic disorders characterized by chronic or recurring inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. While the exact etiology of disease is unknown, IBD is recognized to be a complex, multifactorial disease that results from an intricate interplay of genetic predisposition, an altered immune response, changes in the intestinal microbiota,...
متن کاملThe Innate and Adaptive Immune System as Targets for Biologic Therapies in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an immune-mediated inflammatory condition causing inflammation of gastrointestinal and systemic cells, with an increasing prevalence worldwide. Many factors are known to trigger and maintain inflammation in IBD including the innate and adaptive immune systems, genetics, the gastrointestinal microbiome and several environmental factors. Our knowledge of the in...
متن کاملDoes innate immune response defect underlie inflammatory bowel disease in the Asian population?
T he normal intestine encounters a high concentration of foreign antigen, bacteria, and food, across a large surface area that approximates to that of a tennis court. Despite the fact that this antigenic load is separated from the largest complement of lymphocytes in the body (gut associated lymphoid tissue, GALT) by only a single layer of polarised intestinal epithelium, most people do not mou...
متن کاملInflammatory bowel disease associated circulating immune complexes.
Circulating immune complexes have been detected in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To determine if these complexes are related specificially to IBD or more generally to loss of intestinal mucosal integrity, we compared circulating immune complex levels in the sera of 86 IBD patients, nine pseudomembranous and nine bacterial colitis patients, and 42 healthy controls. Immune compl...
متن کاملNeonatal Presentation of Unremitting Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) has a distinct phenotype and should be considered a specific entity. VEO-IBD presents with very severe clinical pictures and is frequently known by an indeterminate colitis whose clinical remission is unmanageable. This study examines the case of a neonate with VEO-IBD, not responding to medical and surgical treatment. A 7-day-old Iranian fe...
