ABSTRACT
Crohn's disease (CD) is a gastrointestinal tract chronic inflammatory disease with an increasing incidence worldwide. Treatment of CD is focused on symptom control and healing the intestinal mucosa in order to improve the quality of life and prevent complications. The early use of anti-TNF agents such as infliximab in CD patients with high risk factors has become the main treatment of CD clinically.
