Pulmonary complications in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Ladislav Kuzela Doctor of Medicine, Comenian University, Slovakia
Awarded May 1998
Summary
Between 1996 and 1998 we investigated the occurrence of lung disorders in 82 patients with IBD (30 patients with UC and 52 patients with MC) and a control group of 60 subjects.
The aim of our study was to determine the occurrence of pulmonary complications in patients with IBD, to investigate whether UC or MC are connected with a typical lung function disorder, with the inflammatory activity of the disease or if it depends on the presence of other extraintestinal manifestations.
