The exact cause of pediatric Crohn's disease is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. Genetic factors may include inherited mutations in certain genes that increase the risk of developing Crohn's disease. Environmental factors may include exposure to certain bacteria or viruses, as well as certain dietary factors. Immunological factors may include an abnormal response of the immune system to certain bacteria or viruses in the digestive tract.

Common symptoms of pediatric Crohn's disease include:

- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Rectal bleeding
- Anemia
- Poor growth

Pediatric Crohn's Disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the digestive system. It is a chronic condition that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition. It can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus, but is most commonly found in the small intestine and the colon. Treatment for pediatric Crohn's Disease typically includes medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.
