Summary

The aim of this study is to develop a scoring system and a prediction model for differential diagnosis between intestinal tuberculosis and Crohn's disease.

Detailed description

Crohn's disease and intestinal tuberculosis mimic each other in clinical, endoscopic, and histological features. In addition, the yield of microbiological/histological test (AFB stain, caseating granuloma) is not high in clinical setting. Therefore, distinguishing CD from ITB especially in highly endemic areas for TB is challenging. The aim of this study is to develop and to validate a scoring system and a prediction model for differential diagnosis between intestinal tuberculosis and Crohn's disease
