Data from a multicentric international study unveils a neglected association between chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis and inflammatory bowel diseases
This is the largest cohort of paediatric C-IBD reported in the literature. The persistence of inflammation and the presence of microcytic anaemia were associated with the development of an IBD. Given the frequent absence of intestinal symptoms, screening with fecal calprotectin is suggested in all CNO patients that present a persistent CRP elevation despite treatment, and have microcytic anaemia.
