title: [Crohn's disease--observations on own patient material].
abstract: On the basis of own clinical material, consisting of 32 patients with Crohn's disease the picture of this disease is discussed. Patients with an acute terminal ileitis in whom no development in the sense of a Crohn's disease took place were not included in the study. It is typical that also in the number of our own patients that the perferred terminal ileum alone or in connection with other parts of the intestinum as well as a high coefficient of relapses could be proved. Of the complaints cramplike pains in the abdomen were the most frequent symptom. Of the laboratory findings an increased blood sedimentation rate, a decreased iron level, an anaemia and a pathologicial Schilling test were foremost. In 2 patients during a short period a toxic megacolon developed. In the two patients it was the first shift of the disease. In another patient the relatively seldom affection of the duodenum and the stomach by Crohn's disease could be diagnosed.
