Abstract
LALUEZA BLANCO, A. et al. A young woman with first-trimester metrorrhagia, fever and skin lesions. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2006, vol.98, n.3, pp.206-215. ISSN 1130-0108.
Inflammatory bowel disease commonly affects women with child-bearing potential, and clinical activity extent is most relevant at the time of conception. Below, we report on the case of a 19-year-old woman who was admitted for first-trimester metrorrhagia and fever, with various extraintestinal manifestations, mainly including erythema nodosum and episcleritis during the course of disease. The differential diagnosis of these manifestations led to the diagnosis of Crohn's disease, which involved the whole colon.
Keywords : Inflammatory bowel disease; Erythema nodosum; Extraintestinal manifestations; Pregnancy.
