[Paratuberculose enteritis and Crohn's disease]
Abstract:
Paratuberculose enteritis is an infectious and contagious chronic disease of the rumiants. It is characterised by periodic diarrhoea and progressive emaciation and loss of condition, intestinal ileitis and oedematous mucosa with cirumvolutions. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Crohn's disease or inflammatory bowel disease has identical characterization with ileitis, colitis with oedematous state and enlarged intestinal mucosa. Iflammatory infiltration of the intestinal mucosa has a transmural character, affecting the submucosa. The similarity between Crohn's disease and Johne's disease is the reason for considering an identical etiology for both diseases, but in the 75 years of the natural history of Crohn's disease it has been impossible to demonstrate this hypothesis. However, actually the predominant idea is that Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is frequently present in patients with Crohn's disease. This has been demonstrated by hemocultures, PCR and in situ hybridization.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
