Resumo: | Crohn's disease (granulomatous enteritis or colitis, regional enteritis, ileitis, or terminal ileitis) is an inflammatory bowel disease of high morbidity and relative mortality. It affects the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, frequently reaching the terminal ileum, producing serious physiological and morphological changes that may put to risk the well-being of the subject and society. Although the disease’s epidemiology has been more or less established in the United States, reliable epidemic data in Brazil are still lacking due to difficulties in diagnosis and scanty information. The most probable causes of the disease may include infectious agents; psychosomatic, genetic, immunological and also environmental factors, mainly those related with diet. The latter is considered by many people as a "disease of the modern world". The difficulty in establishing the causal agent jeopardizes the treatment of the disease, and may lead to clinical and/or surgical symptomatic treatments. Due to the pathology’s increase during the last decades, current essay informs professionals, researchers and the population on the epidemiology and etiology of Crohn's disease. |

A epidemiologia é mais ou menos estabelecida nos Estados Unidos da América, contudo, no Brasil não dispomos de dados epidemiológicos consistentes, devido à dificuldade do diagnóstico e da carência de informação. Dentre as causas mais prováveis da doença incluem-se: agentes infecciosos; fatores psicossomáticos; genéticos; imunológicos, e, ainda, fatores ambientais, principalmente aqueles relacionados com a dieta, sendo considerada, por muitos, como uma “doença do mundo moderno”. A dificuldade em se estabelecer o agente causal compromete o tratamento da doença, levando a tratamentos sintomáticos clínicos e/ou cirúrgicos. Esta revisão busca informar e conscientizar profissionais, pesquisadores e a população em geral, sobre a epidemiologia e etiologia da doença de Crohn, uma vez que esta patologia vem crescendo nas últimas décadas.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2011-02-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de Literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1720Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 4 No 1 (2011): jan./abr.Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 4 n. 1 (2011): jan./abr.2176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1720/1205Schoffen, João Paulo FerreiraPrado, Isaura Maria Mesquitainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-05-20T14:31:27Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1720Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2022-05-20T14:31:27Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse |

Although the disease’s epidemiology has been more or less established in the United States, reliable epidemic data in Brazil are still lacking due to difficulties in diagnosis and scanty information. The most probable causes of the disease may include infectious agents; psychosomatic, genetic, immunological and also environmental factors, mainly those related with diet. The latter is considered by many people as a "disease of the modern world". The difficulty in establishing the causal agent jeopardizes the treatment of the disease, and may lead to clinical and/or surgical symptomatic treatments. Due to the pathology’s increase during the last decades, current essay informs professionals, researchers and the population on the epidemiology and etiology of Crohn's disease. |
