    Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is known to be a chronic disorder with one ofthe most serious courses of illness in children and adolescents. The prevalence of the disease is constantly increasing ... in the childhood and adolescent periods. It is of great importance for growing children and adolescents that the disease is recognised and treated in the early stages when treatment is far more effective and serious complications of the disease like growth deceleration with short stature, pubertal delay, stenosis and fistulas of the bowel can be prevented. Among children, the diagnosis of IBD -particulary Chronćs disease- is often missed or delayed because of the nonspecific nature of both the intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms. The intestinal symptoms of IBD overlap with functional bowel disorders such as recurrent abdominal pain and irritable bowel syndrome in childhood. In other cases, joint pains, pubertal delay and short stature may be the clinical presentation of IBD, in the absence of any digestive signs or symptoms. This obligates clinicians to exclude IBD using invasive diagnostic testing, in particular, colonoscopy with biopses. In order to asses the most important symptoms and signs of the clinical presentation of IBD and the most important haematological and biocemical laboratory tests in distinguishing IBD from functional and other bowel disorders (with suspected clinical preseritation ofIBD) we compared two groups of patients - a group of 49 children and adolescents with confirmed IBD and a group of 53 children and adolescents withfunctional and other bowel disorders with suspected clinical presentation of IBD (control group). The colonoscopy with biopses was performed in all of our patients from both groups to confirm or exclude IBD. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters).
