Core Tip |
In South Korea, tuberculosis (TB) is still prevalent, but its incidence has been decreasing. On the other hand, the incidence and prevalence of Crohn’s disease (CD) has been increasing as in many Asian countries. In this paper, we demonstrated inverse trends in the misdiagnosis rates between CD and intestinal TB (ITB) over the last two decades. That is, cases of CD misdiagnosed initially as ITB have been decreasing, whereas cases of ITB misdiagnosed initially as CD has been increasing. More attention is needed for the correct diagnosis of CD or ITB, which could improve patients’ outcomes with proper management. |
