Özet

Inflammatory bowel disease is uncommon in infants. We present the clinical, endoscopic and pathologic findings for two exclusively breast-fed infants with a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. We emphasize that although inflammatory bowel disease is rare in infants, chronic bloody diarrhea must be a sufficiently alarming symptom to consider a differential diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in young infants is considered, even when they are exclusively breast-fed.
