title: [Inflammatory bowel disease--familial and sporadic form].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this thesis was to elucidate more differences between a familial and sporadic inflammatory bowel disease by comparing certain clinical data.
  
  
  METHODS
  We assessed 248 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) observed in 1994-2004 in the Academic Department of Gastroenterology at the Medical Faculty in Hradec Králové. To get information about the defined characters we obtained from the questionary and the hospital data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We did not identify any relationship between the onset of the disease and a certain age group, yet males seem to be more prone to familial Crohn's disease. The more frequent familial form of Crohn's disease was the fibro-stenotic one. There were no differences in the onset of the disease. We did not prove the differences in extraintestinal signs, alergy and comorbidities. We did not find any differences in therapy response in relation to the type of nutrition (enteral, parenteral) and the administration of immunosupresive drugs. The biological therapy in sporadic and familial Crohn's disease did not differ either. Surgical intervention was more frequent in Crohn's patients compared to the patients with ulcerative colitis; yet no difference was identified between familial and sporadic cases. Appendectomy carried out before the onset of the disease was later diagnosed as Crohn's disease in more instances than ulcerative colitis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We did not prove significant differences comparing certain clinical data in familial and sporadic form of inflammatory bowel disease, yet males seem to be more prone to familial Crohn's disease. Small bowel was involved more often in familial form of Crohn's disease than in sporadic form.
