Behcet's Disease Presenting as Pancolonic Ulcerations in a Patient With Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease: A Rare Gastrointestinal Manifestation.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare and self-limiting disorder characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy and fever. In this report, we present a case of a 24-year-old man with known history of KFD who presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding and acute blood loss anemia. Further evaluation with colonoscopy showed widespread ulcerations in the colon and terminal ileum with suspicion for Behcet's disease.

The national burden of inflammatory bowel disease in the United States from 1990-2019: results from the Global Burden of Disease study database.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) epidemiology has changed rapidly in recent years. We aimed to provide a systematic report of the burden of IBD at a state level in the United States (US), and to study the age- and sex-specific trends of incidence, prevalence and mortality rates for the past 3 decades.

Methods: Using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 Study Database, we examined the incidence, prevalence and mortality rate, and the disability-adjusted life-years from GBD 2019 at national and state level from 1990-2019.
