A case of newly diagnosed ulcerative colitis
Abstract
Ulcerative Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that is frequently encountered in young people, with an attack and can be diagnosed only with pathology. It is not among the first diagnoses that come to mind because of the low frequency of occurrence even in the presence of related symptoms in primary health care services. In our case, we presented a patient who was admitted to our Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic and was diagnosed after ulcerative colitis.
