In 32 patients with Crohn's disease which started in childhood, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and weight loss were the common presenting symptoms, but unexplained fever and failure to grow were also prominent. Stunted growth was the most frequent physical abnormality when first seen in hospital. The mean delay in diagnosis was almost 3 years and the principal contributing factor here was failure to consider the diagnosis and thus perform a barium follow-through examination. The cumulative relapse rate after medical therapy or surgical resection was disappointingly high, but because the median relapse time is much longer for surgically treated patients, surgery is recommended at an early stage, especially in those patients who are growth-retarded or whose education is suffering because of time lost from school.

“…The significance of this compared with the control group was not assessed owing to small nvimbers in some of the groups when data was analysed according to sex. However, although Crohn's disease has been shown to be slightly more common in females (Kyle, 1971;Miller, Keighley & Langman, 1974;Smith et al, 1975), in most published series psoriasis has either affected the sexes equally (Farber & Nail, 1974), or shown a slight preponderance of males (Hellgren, 1967).…”

Further evidence for an association between psoriasis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis

To test the hypothesis that psoriasis is associated with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, 204 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (116 with Crohn's disease and 88 with ulcerative colitis) and 204 age and sex matched controls were interviewed and examined. The prevalance of psoriasis in Crohn's disease (II.2%) and in ulcerative colitis (5.7%), was significantly greater than in the control group (1.5%). The prevalence of psoriasis in first degree relatives of patients with inflammatory bowel disease was also increased. It is suggested that there is a relationship between psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, sacroiliitis, peripheral arthropathy and inflammatory bowel disease, which may be explained by common genetic factors.
