Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal system characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, and weight loss due to malabsorption of nutrients. A 9-year-old boy was referred for evaluation due to multiple mouth ulcers that had experienced periods of regression and exacerbation. Additionally, the patient presented widespread redness in the gingiva. Initially, the main hypothesis was hypovitaminosis, and blood exams were conducted, which revealed extremely low serum iron levels. During this time, the patient's mother reported episodes of abdominal swelling and diarrhea, which had required hospitalization on several occasions. Consequently, the patient was referred for medical evaluation, including imaging exams and serum calprotectin levels, ultimately leading to the diagnosis of Crohn's Disease. Currently, the patient is undergoing maintenance therapy for Crohn's Disease and does not exhibit oral manifestations of the condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
