On publication of this manuscript, the entity was redesignated "regional ileitis" in response to a protest by J.A. Bargen that the term "terminal" was misleading and inappropriate, for most of the patients survived.
Today, it is recognized that Crohn's disease is not limited to the distal ileum.

Indeed, throughout the historical medical literature, there have been various cases reported by physicians describing entities that today would be known collectively as IBD.

The term IBD refers to a group of disorders (predominantly, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) that is characterized by an inflammation of the intestines.

Indeed, considerable research into these diseases focuses on understanding the role the immune system plays in IBD pathogenesis.
Since the first description of CD by Dr. Burrill Bernard Crohn in 1932, the incident and prevalent IBD populations (although still relatively small compared with other immune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis) have increased in the United States, Europe, and Japan.
This increase is particularly apparent in places where CD was once virtually unknown, such as Japan.
