This is an introduction to the Gut tutorial ‘"A flare" in a patient with known inflammatory bowel disease’ hosted on BMJ Learning—the best available learning website for medical professionals from the BMJ Group.
Bloody diarrhoea is a common presentation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, but an acute exacerbation of this chronic disease is not the only possible cause for this symptom. It is important for specialists to appreciate the differential diagnosis of acute bloody diarrhoea and to be able to consider other aetiology behind such clinical presentation. Understanding the relevance and interpretation of investigations will allow prompt identification as well as the management of associated complications, especially when it may involve other specialty teams.
