💨 Abstract

Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease causing chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, fatigue, and weight loss. The exact cause is unknown, but it involves genetic, immune, and environmental factors. Diagnosis comes through imaging tests, endoscopies, and blood tests. While there's no cure, medications like anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, and antibiotics can help manage symptoms.
