The Pathogenesis of Extraintestinal Manifestations: Implications for IBD Research, Diagnosis, and Therapy

J Crohns Colitis. 2019 Apr 26;13(5):541-554. doi: 10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjy191.

Abstract

This article reports on the sixth scientific workshop of the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation [ECCO] on the pathogenesis of extraintestinal manifestations [EIMs] in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. This paper has been drafted by 15 ECCO members and 6 external experts [in rheumatology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and immunology] from 10 European countries and the USA. Within the workshop, contributors formed subgroups to address specific areas. Following a comprehensive literature search, the supporting text was finalized under the leadership of the heads of the working groups before being integrated by the group consensus leaders.

Keywords: Crohn’s disease; ECCO; erythema nodosum; extra-intestinal manifestation; inflammatory bowel disease; pyoderma gangrenosum; spondyloarthritis; ulcerative colitis; uveitis.
