Abstract
A 66-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department due to malaise, fatigue and anorexia for the last 2 weeks. He presented no fever, no respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms. The patient had been previously diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease (CD) (A2L1L4B1 of Montreal Classification) 10 years before, when he presented complaints of watery diarrhea and unexplained weight loss. Despite refusing to start treatment, in the last staging exams performed 5 years before the admission (colonoscopy and magnetic resonance imaging) the patient was in deep remission. Nevertheless, he frequently missed his medical appointments and his disease had not been monitored since then. He denied previous use of corticosteroids, past abdominal surgery or previous CD related hospital admissions. He also denied smoking habits or chronic lung disease.
