CMV: cytomegalovirus; CRP: C-reactive protein; CT: computed tomography; EBV: Epstein-Barr virus; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; HIV: human immunodeficiency virus; Ig: immunoglobulin; IGF-1: insulin-like growth factor 1; IGFBP-3: insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3; IGRA: interferon-gamma release assay; MRE: magnetic resonance enterography; RAST: radioallergosorbent test; TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone; TST: tuberculin skin test; T4: thyroxine; T3: triiodothyronine; UGI/SBFT: upper gastrointestinal series with small bowel follow-through.
* Small bowel imaging and endoscopy are indicated for children with significant clinical suspicion of inflammatory bowel disease (eg, persistent diarrhea and/or elevated ESR, CRP, or fecal calprotectin >200 mcg/g). For small bowel imaging, MRE is preferred. If this is not available, a fluoroscopic contrast study (UGI/SBFT) can be used.
