Measurement of fecal calprotectin improves monitoring and detection of recurrence of Crohn's disease after surgery

TL;DR: In this analysis of data from a prospective clinical trial, FC measurement has sufficient sensitivity and NPV values to monitor for CD recurrence after intestinal resection and its predictive value might be used to identify patients most likely to relapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum and mucosal S100 proteins, calprotectin (S100A8/S100A9) and S100A12, are elevated at diagnosis in children with inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: Serum calprotectin and S100A12 are increased in children with IBD and indicate disease activity, and Elevated levels of these proteins are present in the colonic mucosa and may contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Campylobacter concisus and other Campylobacter species in children with newly diagnosed Crohn's disease

TL;DR: Investigation into the role of these non‐jejuni Campylobacter species in the initiation of human IBD is clearly a priority given the strengthening evidence for a significantly higher prevalence of C. concisus in pediatric CD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defensins and inflammation: the role of defensins in inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: It is less clear whether defensin deficiency is implicated in the pathogenesis of IBD or is a consequence of the disease process, although the aim of this article is to review the current knowledge of defensins in IBD and discuss their potential role.
