1. Impacto da raça e ancestralidade na apresentação e evolução da doença de Crohn no Brasil / The impact of race and ancestry in the presentation and progression of Crohns disease in Brazil
INTRODUCTION: Crohns disease (CD) is increasingly recognized in diverse ethnic populations. Ethnic factors related do CD are highly controversial. Apparently, there seems to be a higher incidence among white subjects. However, studies conducted in USA have shown an increase in prevalence among black subjects in the last 30 years. Overall, there is lack of in

2. Tuberculose entérica
The authors reports two patients with operated from enteric tuberculosis. Tuberculosis involving the intestinal tract may be due to either Mycobacterium tuberculosis or M. bovis. In the former situation, the disease is primary to the lungs and is carried to the intestinal tract by swallowing sputum. The latter organism produces infection associated with swal

3. Crohn's disease and the mycobacterioses: a review and comparison of two disease entities.
Crohn's disease is a chronic granulomatous ileocolitis, of unknown etiology, which generally affects the patient during the prime of life. Medical treatment is supportive at best, and patients afflicted with this disorder generally live with chronic pain, in and out of hospitals, throughout their lives. The disease bears the name of the investigator who conv

4. Epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in a defined northern California population.
The epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease is described among the more than 1.5 million members of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program (KPMCP) in northern California. We reviewed a 20% random sample of the medical records of 2,067 persons first admitted to hospital in the period 1971 through 1982 with codes indicating inflammatory bowel disease. W

5. Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in Veterinary Medicine
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (basonym M. paratuberculosis) is the etiologic agent of a severe gastroenteritis in ruminants known as Johne's disease. Economic losses to the cattle industry in the United States are staggering, reaching $1.5 billion annually. A potential pathogenic role in humans in the etiology of Crohn's disease is under invest

6. Mycobacterium haemophilum: microbiology and expanding clinical and geographic spectra of disease in humans.
Reports of the association of Mycobacterium haemophilum with disease in humans have greatly increased. At least 64 cases have now been reported, with symptoms ranging from focal lesions to widespread, systemic disease. The organism is now known to cause primarily cutaneous and subcutaneous infection, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and pneumonitis in patien

7. Molecular Epidemiology of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis: Evidence for Limited Strain Diversity, Strain Sharing, and Identification of Unique Targets for Diagnosis
The objectives of this study were to understand the molecular diversity of animal and human strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis isolated in the United States and to identify M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis-specific diagnostic molecular markers to aid in disease detection, prevention, and control. Multiplex PCR of IS900 integration loci (M

8. Molecular Epidemiology of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis: IS900 Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism and IS1311 Polymorphism Analyses of Isolates from Animals and a Human in Australia
The distribution and prevalence of strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis were determined among sheep, cattle, and other species with Johne's disease in Australia. A total of 328 isolates were evaluated from numerous farms in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia, Australia. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) a
