Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) is an autoimmune disease, in which the body's immune system attacks its own digestive tract, leading to chronic inflammation and damage. It is not classified as infectious because it is not caused by a specific pathogen, and it is not solely a genetic disease as environmental factors also play a role. Ulcerative colitis is a subtype of IBD and not a classification of the disease itself.
