Abstract
Joint involvements in 5 patients with regional ileitis are described. The clinical pictures in all patients and the histopathologic findings in 1 patient are those of synovitis which begins several months to a few years after the regional ileitis and usually parallels intestinal disease. There are no distinctive histopathologic features or specific laboratory tests for this joint involvement which is probably related to the intestinal disease and distinct from rheumatoid arthritis.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
