Abstract:
The authors examined a total of 64 patients with idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases, 33 patients with Crohn's disease and 31 patients with proctocolitis to assess the possible frequency of pulmonary complications. An impaired ventilation was recorded in 33% patients with Crohn's disease and 25% patients who proctocolitis, in both groups an obstructive ventilation disorder predominated. In four patients (12.5%) with Crohn's disease cytological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage revealed alveolitis. The authors draw attention to relatively frequent bronchopulmonary complications of non-specific inflammatory bowel disease which are usually clinically silent.
