Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic intestinal disorder comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis

Biomarkers, which reflect the level of intestinal inflammation are considered to enable effective monitoring of disease activity. The present study evaluated the role of serum pentraxin 3 (PTX3) as a marker of disease activity in patients with CD. Serum PTX3 levels were determined using an enzyme-link...
