Antibodies against Chlamydia of lymphogranuloma-venereum type in Crohn's disease
Abstract
Antibodies against Chlamydia of lymphogranuloma-venereum type were detected by the micro-immunofluorescence technique in 38 (69%) of 55 patients with Crohn's disease. Weak positive reactions were seen in only 2 or 21 patients with other gastrointestinal disorders and 1 of 50 healthy blood-donors.
