Crohn's disease Vs ulcerative colitis

CD:
Mucosal architecture:
Mucosal surface, normal, irregular, villous
Crypt atrophy (shortened, widely spaced crypts)
Distorted, dilated, branching crypts

Inflammatory changes:
Basal plasmacytosis, increase in cells in basal third of lamina
propria
Increased lamina propria cellularity (round cells and
neutrophils)
Basal lymphoid aggregates

Specific features:
Epithelioid granuloma
Basal giant cells
Excess histiocytes in lamina propria

Features related with activity (separating IBD from normal):
Neutrophils in surface epithelium
Neutrophils in crypt epithelium
Ulceration


UC:
Architecture:
Severe crypt architectural distortion
Severe widespread decreased crypt density
Frankly villous surface

Inflammatory:
Heavy diffuse transmucosal lamina propria cell increase
Diffuse basal plasmacytosis

Miscellaneous:
Increased intensity of the alterations towards the distal colon
Severe mucin depletion
Paneth-cell metaplasia distal to the hepatic flexure

  1. A 19-year-old student presents with weight loss and blood loss per rectum. You organise a flexible sigmoidoscopy.
    Which of the following histological features would favour a diagnosis of Crohn's disease and not ulcerative colitis?

    1-Caseating granulomata
    2-Crypt abscesses
    3-Goblet cell mucus depletion
    4-Lymphocyte infiltrate of the lamina propria
    5-Metaplastic polyp formation

    Ulcerative colitis is characterised by mucosal inflammation with

    General inflammatory cell infiltration
    Goblet-cell mucus depletion
    Crypt abscesses
    Crypt shortening
    Branching.
    There is continuous inflammation, worsening from caecum to rectum.

    In contrast, Crohn's disease is characterised by transmural inflammation, with

    Lymphocytic infiltrates and lymphoid aggregates
    Fissures
    Preservation of crypt architecture
    Non-caseating granulomata.
    There is patchy inflammation from mouth to anus.

  2. monzygos twn studies shaw high concordance for CD 70%, but less so for UC. 1st gegree relatvie has 5-20% increase fold risk of developing IBD. the child of parents with IBD have 5% risk of developing IBD.

  3. enviormental factors: smoking and appendectomy reduce risk of UC, smoking increase risk of CD.

  6. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
