title: [Inflammatory bowel diseases--pathogenesis and clinical symptoms].
abstract: The common factor of inflammatory bowel diseases is the unknown etiologic agent. It's suggested that it could be genetic predisposition, environment and immunologic factor. It seems probable that the etiology of these diseases has many sources but the pathogenesis is similar. Inflammatory bowel diseases etiology requires more research but the immunological system disturbances are out of the question. The most typical course of these diseases is the one with remissions and relapses. Clinical symptoms vary and depend on localization, phase and presence of complications. In this paper we present some basic information about epidemiology, pathogenesis and the clinical course of inflammatory bowel diseases.
