Abstract

Crohn's disease is an indolent, chronic inflammatory bowel disease capable of involving the entire alimentary tract. The exact etiology and pathogenesis remain unknown despite a long and intensive research, but the finding of various abnormalities of the immune response in patients with Crohn's disease has led to the concepts that immune mechanism is involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. Recently, we have experienced a case of Crohn's disease. So the purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of Oriental medicine for Crohn's disease.
