Abstract:
The relationship of pyoderma gangrenosum and ulcerative colitis remains uncertain. We investigating 14 patients with pyoderma gangrenosum by colonoscopy with multiple biopsies. Six patients had ulcerative colitis and all of these had disease affecting the whole colon. There were no correlations between exacerbations of the colitis and the onset or course of pyoderma gangrenosum. The remaining eight patients with pyoderma gangrenosum had no other disease and they were found to be significantly older than those patients with coexisting colitis (P less than 0.002).

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...
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.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
