Abstract
Madam, the idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases comprise two types of chronic intestinal disorders: Crohn s disease and ulcerative colitis. Accumulating evidence suggests that inflammatory bowel disease results from an inappropriate inflammatory response to intestinal microbes in a genetically susceptible host. Genetic studies highlight the importance of host-microbe interactions in the pathogenesis of these diseases.
