==Introduction==
'''Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)''' is an idiopathic group of disorders characterised by intestinal inflammatory changes, associated with persistent or recurrent gastrointestinal signs. IBD can affect any part of the intestines and is classified according to the predominant cellular inflammatory infiltration. Several histological types have been recognised, including [[Enteritis, Lymphocytic - Plasmacytic |Lymphocytic - Plasmacytic Enteritis]] (LPE) and [[Enteritis, Eosinophilic |Eosinophilic Enteritis]] (EE).
