3 Fig. 2 Examples of histological changes in ileal biopsy specimens after infliximab therapy (H&E stain; original magnification 125×). (A) Note the disturbed crypt architecture, dense inflammatory infiltrate, and epithelial damage before treatment (histology score, 8). (B) Four weeks after infliximab administration, the inflammatory infiltrate is reduced to normal levels, and the epithelial damage has been restored. Only the crypt architecture remains disturbed (histology score, 2). Gastroenterology  , DOI: ( /S (99) ) Copyright © 1999 American Gastroenterological Association Terms and Conditions
