Why is researching IBD in children so important? The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising globally, and this is becoming particularly stark in the Middle East and North Africa. The causes of IBD are still unclear, but they likely include a combination of genetic and environmental factors with immune system dysfunction. For reasons that are not yet clear, younger patients tend to experience more severe versions of IBD that require aggressive treatment. So the earlier we diagnose IBD and intervene, the better it is for their long-term health. I firmly believe that we cannot fully understand disease pathophysiology without looking at the microbiome and its composition.
