Core Tip
Core Tip: It is very important to identify infantile-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IO-IBD) patients, especially those in whom the disease is caused by monogenic diseases, as early as possible because these patients have poor responses to traditional inflammatory bowel disease treatments. However, there are no simple and reliable laboratory indicators for early differential diagnosis. This is the first study focusing on the laboratory indicators that could be used to distinguish O-IBD patients from allergic enteritis patients and screening IO-IBD patients with monogenic diseases. We believe that these results may be valuable in the initial investigations and diagnosis of IO-IBD.
