CD may have an insidious onset with abdominal pain and weight loss which may contribute to a delay in diagnosis.
If chronic diarrhea or rectal bleeding are present, diagnosis may be more expeditious. Non-specific symptoms of anorexia, fatigue, delayed sexual maturation, and decreased linear growth may be present but not immediately noticed and if noticed may not prompt a workup for IBD because of their nonspecific nature.

Good paper!!
