Abstract
We studied the serum of 28 children with IBD (15 URC, 13 CD).
ASCAs were always negative in URC and positive in 7/13 CD (localisation:
ileocecum and ascending colon). No correlation
between ASCA-positivity, age and CD degree of activity was
found. ASCAs are specific for CD diagnosis, but their sensitiveness
is not sufficient for clinical screening.
