No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It is clinically challenging to differentiate Crohn's disease from gut tuberculosis especially in regions endemic of tuberculosis infection. The investigators plan to perform magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) who presented to our hospital in Shenzhen, China for new onset of lower gastrointestinal symptoms and ileocecal mucosal lesions of uncertain diagnosis as evidenced by the presence of inflammation, ulceration, strictures or nodules on colonoscopy. MRE findings will be independently interpreted by two radiologistsThe role of MRE in distinguishing gut tuberculosis from Crohn's disease will be determined.
