In 1965, with the help of Dr. Henry D. Janowitz, Irwin M. Rosenthal established the Foundation for Research in Ileitis, Inc., now known as the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, Inc. He was joined shortly thereafter by William D. Modell. At that time, the entire annual NIH budget for research on inflammatory bowel disease was only $25,000. Successful fund raising made it possible to recruit a research fellow at The Mount Sinai Hospital in the Division of Gastroenterology to study ileitis. Thereafter, the efforts of the foundation expanded nationwide. It supported a nationally coordinated research program and sponsored education for physicians, patients and the public. In addition, it established support groups to help patients and their families cope with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. With the energy and philanthropy of the foundation's many lay leaders, tens of millions of dollars have been raised for research and education in inflammatory bowel disease.

Collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis (previously described as microscopic colitis) are two newly recognised forms of colitis. Both have generated much controversy and continue to do so; their aetiology and pathogenesis are unresolved and their association with a variety of immune-related disorders is intriguing. Response to available therapeutic modalities is often disappointing. The possible relationship or overlap between these two conditions remains a controversial issue. The aim of this review is essentially to present an overview of collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis and to propose an unifying concept with an adapted terminology.

Crohn's disease first received widespread recognition in the United States as a syndrome involving the terminal ileum in 1932. Within a few years it was recognized that the primary process could involve any part of the ileum and jejunum. It was not until 1965, however, that Crohn's colitis was recognized in the United States. There were many reasons for the delay of nearly 35 years: accounts documenting this affliction from the early part of this century were ignored and Crohn's colitis was confused with other diseases of the large intestine. More important, authorities in the field were skeptical that Crohn's disease involved the colon and failed to investigate fully that possibility. The belief that Crohn's disease stopped at the ileocecal valve was so entrenched in American medicine that after the British first documented Crohn's colitis in 1959, it took doctors in the United States another 6 years to believe it.
