Inflammatory bowel disease is generally assumed to be rare among negroes and Indians. Over 10 years 34 cases of ulcerative colitis and 14 cases of Crohn's disease were seen in one medical and one surgical unit in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. Twenty-six patients were Negroes, 18 were Indians, three were of mixed race, and one was Caucasian. In many of these patients the disease was extensive and several of those with Crohn's disease suffered severe complications. The assumption that inflammatory bowel disease is rare among West Indians of African and Indian origin therefore seems to be wrong.
一般认为炎症性肠病在黑人和印第安人中较为罕见。在特立尼达和多巴哥西班牙港的一个内科和一个外科科室，10多年间共诊治了34例溃疡性结肠炎患者和14例克罗恩病患者。其中26例为黑人，18例为印第安人，3例为混血儿，1例为白种人。这些患者中许多人的病情都较为严重，一些克罗恩病患者还出现了严重的并发症。因此，认为非洲和印度裔西印度人中炎症性肠病罕见的假设似乎是错误的。
