Inflammatory bowel disease is now recognized as a common diagnosis in the pediatric age group. Inflammatory bowel disease has been diagnosed as early as the first few months of life. In addition to the usual gastrointestinal symptoms, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding, children may exhibit prominent extraintestinal manifestations, such as growth failure, weight loss, anemia, and joint symptoms.
炎症性肠病现在被认为是儿科年龄段的常见诊断疾病。炎症性肠病早在生命的最初几个月就已被诊断出来。除了常见的胃肠道症状，如腹泻、腹痛和直肠出血外，儿童可能还会出现明显的肠外表现，如生长发育迟缓、体重减轻、贫血和关节症状。
