Zusammenfassung: | Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, progressive immune‐mediated inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Environmental risk factors play a role in developing either type of IBD, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis; although the exact mechanism is still unknown.
