Abstract
A total of 171 patients (73 males and 98 females) were evaluated. Age at onset of Crohn’s disease, localisation and disease behaviour were classified according to the Vienna classification.3 Plasma levels of MBL were measured by a functional time resolved immunofluorometric assay.4 Genetic variations in exon-1 …Keywords
