Inflammatory Bowel

Many reports indicate increasing rates of inflammatory bowel disease, with data also showing changing patterns of this chronic disease in children and adolescents. This review focuses upon the available data of the epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in children and adolescents in Australia and New Zealand (collectively termed Australasia). Recent data show high incidence of IBD (especially Crohn disease) in this area and indicate rising rates of IBD in children and adolescents.

Disease Specific

Insufficient disease-related knowledge can be a barrier to the effective management of the unpredictable and lifelong course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients with chronic illnesses have high non-adherence rates, with direct clinical consequences. While no single intervention strategy can improve the adherence of all patients, the success of attempts to improve patient adherence depends upon the realistic assessment of patients’ knowledge and their understanding of the regimen. The aim of this study was to assess the disease-specific knowledge of the parents and patients with IBD in the South Island of New Zealand, and identify areas of poor knowledge. Families of children diagnosed with IBD were asked to complete the IBD Knowledge Inventory Device (IBD-KID). Patients 10 years and older were asked to participate along with their parents. Of 110 families, 91 responded, with completed questionnaires received from 153 parents and 66 patients. Overall, parents scored significantly higher (13.64 ± 3.88) than their children (10.03 ± 4.07; p < 0.001). Areas of poor knowledge included aspects of treatment (both conventional and alternative), along with long-term disease outcomes. This study has shown clear areas of concern in this population’s disease-specific knowledge of their disease. This should be addressed through targeted education for both the patient and the parents to improve not only their knowledge, but also their adherence and disease self-management.

We present a case of a 38-year -old man was admitted to the hospital with biliary obstruction and Clostridium Difficile infection. He presented with moderate increases in the aminotransferase and bilirubin levels suggesting the diagnosis of an autoimmune hepatobiliary disease; intestinal protein loss needs to evaluate an associated inflammatory bowel disease. The clinical diagnosis of autoimmune hepatobiliary disease associated with inflammatory bowel disease is based on the patients symptoms and the presence of a protein-losing enteropathy which are more suggestive of Crohn disease, while moderate increases in the aminotransferase levels in proportion to the increase in the bilirubin level suggesting the diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis. The pathological and positive diagnosis needs an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and a biopsy of gastric and duodenum mucosae who showed severe inflammation findings that are diagnostic of Crohn disease.
