Abstract
Based on this clinical experience and a review of the literature comparing infliximab with other pharmacological options, we believe that this drug should be the treatment of choice in patients with Crohn's disease who develop severe lower gastrointestinal bleeding. This strategy can, in some cases, avoid surgery if the bleeding stops due to rapid healing of the deep mucosal lesions causing the hemorrhagic episode.
