Figure 1 Biopsy specimen of (A) duodenal and (B) prepouch neoterminal ileal mucosa. The duodenum shows infiltration of the lamina propria by lymphocytes, plasma cells, and neutrophils, with cryptitis and small numbers of neutrophils within upper-crypt lumina and on the surface. The ileum shows shortening and irregularity of villi, mild diffuse chronic inflammatory cell infiltration, and mild activity with cryptitis.
