| Core Tip |
There is a constant challenge of differentiating Crohn’s disease (CD) from intestinal tuberculosis, especially with the increasing burden of inflammatory bowel disease in tuberculosis-endemic areas. Caseation necrosis on biopsy, positive acid-fast bacillus smear/culture, and necrotic lymph node on computed tomography (CT) are the only differentiating features with 100% specificity, though are limited by poor sensitivity. Multi-parametric models have their own limitations and a therapeutic trial of anti-tubercular therapy is often required. Upcoming markers include the latest Bayesian meta-analysis, enumeration of peripheral blood T-regulatory cells, and updated CT based predictive score. Therapeutic trial is associated with a delay in CD diagnosis, and better modalities/biomarkers are required for improved differentiation and reduction in the need for anti-tubercular therapy trial. |
