Abstract
Long-term maintenance therapy with infliximab is required to maintain mucosal integrity in patients after surgery for Crohn's disease. However, a dose of 3 mg/kg (a 40% reduction from the standard dose) was sufficient to avoid disease recurrence, determined by endoscopy, in all patients at 1 year. FC levels correlate with mucosal status at different infliximab doses.
