Answer to Question 2

Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized as an autoimmune, chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. IBD is actually the general term for either of two diagnoses: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease. Patients with UC present with signs and symptoms including abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and tenesmus. Patients with severe disease often are febrile, are tachycardic, and have diarrhea that contains pus and mucus. Patients with Crohn's disease experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, and tenesmus. They are much less likely to have blood in their stool but usually experience more abdominal pain and cramping than patients with UC. Treatments for both UC and Crohn's disease include anti-inflammatory medications, antibiotics, immunosuppressive medications, immunomodulators, and biologic therapies as well as surgical intervention.
