Abstract
The presence of
Campylobacter
species other than
Campylobacter jejuni
and antibodies to
Campylobacter concisus
in children were investigated. A significantly greater presence of
C. concisus
and higher levels of antibodies to
C. concisus
were detected in children with Crohn's disease (CD) than in controls.
Campylobacter
species other than
C. jejuni
were isolated from intestinal biopsy specimens of children with CD.
