<br/><br/> Inflammatory bowel diseases are considered part of immune- mediated inflammatory disorders . Their pathogenesis was linked to an inappropriate exaggerated immune response to commensal bacteria normally present in the bowel in genetically predisposed individuals . Increase of the level of hygiene and decrease exposure to helminthic infections was suggested as predisposing factors to IBD . Epidemiologic data have given a clue on the relation of prevalence of helminthic infections and the incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases in developing countries
