Abstract
The National Cooperative Crohn’s Disease Study of the United States did not find any correlation between the grade of inflammation of the rectal mucosa and the Crohn’s disease activity index. We recently developed a morphometrical analysis of biopsy specimens in which 80 different histologic parameters can be measured. This kind of analysis has allowed us to re-examine the question of the correlation between disease activity and rectal mucosa histology.
