Resumen Proposito: La incidencia y prevalencia de la enfermedad de Crohn (CD) varia geograficamente y de acuerdo a factores raciales y etnicos. Esta se encuentra con mayor frecuencia en Norte America y Europa del Norte. La incidencia es mayor en caucasicos que en negros e hispanos, siendo los asiaticos el grupo con menor incidencia. Sin embargo, a mediados de 1980s y 1990s, la incidencia y prevalencia aumentaron en Europa continental, el Este Medio, la costa del Pacifico, Africa y America Latina. Este aumento en incidencia tambien se ha observado en Puerto Rico, aunque nuestra poblacion difiere geneticamente de otras poblaciones con CD descritas. Un estudio previo en nuestra poblacion mostro una menor prevalencia de ASCA y ausencia de NOD 2 en nuestros pacientes con CD. Infliximab, un anticuerpo contra TNFa es eficaz en el tratamiento de CD tanto en enfermedad inflamatoria refractaria como en enfermedad fistulizante. Debido a la limitada informacion que tenemos acerca de CD en hispanos, la minoria con mas rapido crecimiento en Estados Unidos, hemos disenado este estudio retrospectivo con pacientes tratados con infliximab en nuestra institucion. Deseamos determinar si la respuesta a infliximab en hispanos geneticamente mixtos difiere de los reportados previamente en otras poblaciones.
