Abstract

124 cases of chronic inflammatory bowel disease were retrospectively reviewed between 1983 and 1988 (44 affected by Crohn's disease (CD) and 80 by ulcerative colitis (UC)). A median annual incidence of 1.30/100,000 inhabitants/year for CD and 2.37 for UC was found, observing an increase in the incidence of CD and a stabilization of UC.
