| Popis: | (1) A review of the literature as well as an analysis of 89 cases of regional enteritis and idiopathic ulcerative colitis from the records of Michael Reese Hospital are presented. (2) In regional enteritis statistics show the greatest age incidence to be between the ages of twenty to forty; our series lowered the age to 10 to 40. In ulcerative colitis statistics place 75% below the age of forty; our series showed the greatest incidence under the age of fifty. (3) There is no significant sex incidence in the two diseases. (4) There are a slightly larger number of appendectomies performed before the clinical onset of regional enteritis than that of ulcerative colitis; but a markedly larger number of appendices are removed during the disease in regional enteritis. this can be explained on missed or wrong diagnosis, and actual appendical involvement in certain cases. |
