Abstract

There is a knowledge gap on the epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in Africa. To begin to address this issue, we formed a case reporting network of practitioners with an interest in inflammatory bowel disease across sub-Saharan Africa. Here, we report a series of 175 cases from 12 countries over 2 years.
