1. Microscopic colitis : studies of epidemiology, clinical features and nitric oxide
Sammanfattning : Lymphocytic colitis (LC) and collagenous colitis (CC) arc newly recognised inflammatory bowel diseases belonging to the group of microscopic colitides (MC). They are characterised clinically by chronic non-bloody and watery diarrhoea, and a macroscopically normal or near normal colonic mucosa where diagnostic histopathological abnormalities are found.

2. Microscopic colitis
Sammanfattning : Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a common cause of chronic non-bloody diarrhoea, especially in elderly women. There are two main subtypes, lymphocytic colitis (LC) and collagenous colitis (CC) which are clinically indistinguishable and can be separated only by their characteristic histopathological features.

3. Dysregulated mucosal immune responses in microscopic colitis patients
Sammanfattning : Microscopic colitis (MC), comprising collagenous colitis (CC) and lymphocytic colitis (LC) is a common cause of chronic watery diarrhea. The diagnosis relies on typical histopathological changes observed upon microscopic examination. LÄS MER
4. Epidemiological aspects of microscopic colitis
Sammanfattning : Microscopic colitis (MC) constitutes the main entities collagenous colitis (CC) and lymphocytic colitis (LC), diseases that are relatively recently described (in 1976 and 1989, respectively).The aims of this thesis were to study the epidemiology of MC, to describe how these diseases affect patients in terms of symptom burden and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), to study potential risk factors such as familial factors, childhood circumstances, educational level, marital status, smoking and comorbidity, and to describe a cohort of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD) and subsequent MC, and vice versa.
