โฆ Synopsis
Infection would seem to be an integral part of the pathogenesis of fistula in uno'. The microbiology of acute anorectal sepsis is well d o c ~m e n t e d ~, ~, but the only study on chronic anal fistula raised doubts about the relevance of infection in fistula persistence4. The present histological study complements the earlier work, which used microbiological methods alone and might have overlooked important organisms.
