2 PATIENT CASE STUDYPatient Case StudyPatient detailsName of the Patient: Mr. Bob JacksonAge: 55 yearsSex: MaleSymptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea and MalaisePart 1After reviewing the symptoms, pathological reports andphysiological parameters, it seems that Mr. Bob Jackson is suffering fromCrohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease is defined as a condition of idiopathicinflammation of any part of the gastrointestinal tract (starting from themouth to anus). Although, maximum reported cases shows ileocaecaloccurrence. It is one of the most common diseases encountered in thedomain of gastroenterology and falls under the category of theInflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) (Baumgart & Sandborn, 2012).Aetiological Evidence of Mr. Jackson with Crohn’s DiseaseThe major leading cause behind the occurrence of the Crohn’sdisease is uncontrolled inflammation. This uncontrolled inflammationof the gastrointestinal tract may occur because of beer consumption.Mr. Jackson, consumes 6 stubbies of beer per week such high beerconsumption rate at the age of 55 might have resulted in theinflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to Crohn’s disease(Manninen et al., 2012). Another excepted cause behind developingsusceptibility towards Crohn’s disease is nutritional deficiencies. Mr.Jackson resides in a rural community (100 Km northwest from Melbourne)and people of the rural community lack nutrition in diet, leading to thearrival of the stigma of the Crohn’s disease (Kyle, 2013).
