## Background: Both antibodies to saccharomyces cerevisiae (asca) and carriage of two mutated nod2/card15 alleles are associated with ileal crohn's disease (cd) and complications requiring bowel surgery. we assessed the asca titer as a marker of cd clinical behavior. ## Methods: In a cross-sectio
Background: Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) present in a subgroup of Crohn's disease (CD) patients indicate loss of tolerance against commensal antigens. ASCA can be induced in Candida albicans-infected rabbits, suggesting their potential crossreactive nature. The present study aimed
Background: Antibodies against mannan, a component of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall, are more frequently found in Crohn's disease (CD) patients with low levels of mannan-binding lectin (MBL). MBL concentration depends on genetic polymorphisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate whe
