Although both studies were endoscopically normal, histopathology of random mucosal biopsies revealed characteristic features of Crohn's disease with granulomas in the colon and erosive duodenitis with a single granuloma in the small bowel (Figure 1).
The gastrointestinal mucosal biopsies in this patient demonstrated multiple non-caseating granulomas with prominent eosinophilia suggestive of Crohn's disease (Figure 1).
MAdCAM-1 is normally expressed in the gut, and its expression is dramatically amplified during inflammation [ 2 3 ] . The functional significance of increased appearance of MAdCAM-1 in IBD is supported by several reports which show that immunoneutralization of either MAdCAM-1 or its ligand, the α4β7 integrin, attenuate inflammation and mucosal damage in animal models of colitis [ 8 9 10 ] . However, since monoclonal antibodies directed against other ECAMs, particularly VCAM-1, can as well reduce disease activity in colitis models [ 11 12 13 14 ] , the literature suggests that MAdCAM-1 is probably necessary, but insufficient for the maximal penetrance of experimental and probably also clinical IBD.
The gastric mucosal responses to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs also involve the activation of NF-κB, generation of cytotoxic cytokines like TNFα and epithelial apoptosis [ 6 7 ] . Administration of low concentrations of nitric oxide by an ester linkage reduces this effect, suggesting that nitric oxide was offering benefit by quenching other radicals involved in cell activation.
In humans, it is unfeasible to evaluate the immunological events that occur shortly after infection in the mucosal compartments.
