Crohn’s disease

In your initial post, discuss the following questions about your chosen disorder:

• Concept and Etiology: How does the disease affect the ear, nose, throat, and gastrointestinal systems in particular? How does it deviate from the definition of health discussed in Module One?
• Classification: How is the disease classified?
• Clinical Manifestations (Symptoms and Signs): What are the symptoms and signs of the disease or disorder? Be sure you understand the difference between symptoms (subjective) and signs (objective).
• Diagnostic Tests: What are some additional diagnostic tests that can be done to illuminate the diagnosis? For example, when you injure your ankle, they take an x-ray to determine if it is broken or sprained.
