  • Title: Diseases of the intestine mimicking Crohn's disease.
    Author: Lavy A, Militianu D, Eidelman S.
    Journal: J Clin Gastroenterol; 1992 Jul; 15(1):17-23. PubMed ID: 1354228.
    Abstract:
    We describe five patients who were initially thought to have Crohn's disease and were treated accordingly. The original diagnosis was based upon clinical presentation, roentgenograms, and histological examination, but subsequent follow-up showed that diagnosis to be in error. The following diagnoses were established instead: tuberculosis, Actinomyces Israeli infection, reaction to gold therapy, metastatic cancer, and linitis plastica. We stress the importance of considering conditions that can mimic Crohn's disease.
