Abstract
Diseased resected portions of intestine from patients with inflammatory bowel disease were examined by chicken embryo inoculation for the presence of chlamydia and histolog-ically for the presence of chlamydia, intracellular campylo-bacters, Tyzzer's bacilli, and cryptosporidia. Chlamydia were not isolated from any of the seven colon specimens tested and chlamydia, intracellular campylobacters, Tyzzer's bacilli, and cryptosporidia were not demonstrated in 39 sections of colon and ileum from 16 IBD patients.Keywords
