The current major clinical challenge relates to the accurate diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Asian countries with a high background prevalence of infections.
The diagnosis of Crohn's disease in geographical areas where tuberculosis is endemic poses a major diagnostic challenge.
Infections can mimic IBD and complicate the course of existing IBD. Limited availability of diagnostic modalities and health service may delay diagnosis. A multidisciplinary approach, continuous medical education, and academic activities may warrant an accurate diagnosis of IBD.
在感染背景患病率较高的亚洲国家,目前主要的临床挑战涉及炎症性肠病(IBD)的准确诊断。
在结核病流行的地理区域,克罗恩病的诊断构成了一项重大的诊断挑战。
感染可能模仿IBD并使现有IBD的病程复杂化。诊断方式和医疗服务的可及性有限可能会延迟诊断。多学科方法、持续医学教育和学术活动可能有助于IBD的准确诊断。
