Abstract Background Faecal calprotectin (FC) is a biomarker elevated in active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). FC is more sensitive in colonic than small bowel IBD. Ileo-colonoscopy is usually performed to confirm a diagnosis of IBD. Isolated non-specific terminal ileitis is often inconclusive despite biopsy. We aimed to assess the factors that predict terminal ileal Crohn’s disease after ileitis is seen at colonoscopy. Methods A single centre retrospective study of all endoscopic cases of isolated terminal ileitis diagnosed at colonoscopy over a 4 year period (January 2015 – December 2018) was performed. Data was obtained from the Unisoft Endoscopy reporting software. Statistical analyses included chi-square, student t-test and binary logistic regression. Faecal calprotectin, CRP and histology were noted. >150μg/mg was used as a cut off for elevated FC. Results 139 cases were identified and exclusion criteria were applied (known Crohn’s disease, colonic disease). 74 cases were included for analysis. The mean age was 43.9. 44 (59.5%) of the cases were women. 38 (51.4%) had FC performed of which 27 (71.1%) had a FC >150μg/mg. 60 (81.1%) cases had macroscopic terminal ileum ulcers, 9 (15%) of these had histological evidence of ulceration. Subsequent diagnoses of Crohn’s disease were made in 15 (20.3%) patients. Odds ratio of 1.28 (p = 0.016, Cl 0.45-0.047) in the TI ulcers + FC >150μg/mg vs. no TI ulcers + FC <150μg/mg. Conclusion 1 in 5 patients with isolated terminal ileitis were subsequently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Almost 90% of these new cases had a faecal calprotectin >150μg/mg. There is poor correlation between endoscopic and histological terminal ileum ulceration. We conclude that terminal ileal ulceration in combination with faecal calprotectin >150μg/mg increases the likelihood of a new diagnosis of Crohn’s disease.

Abstract Background Microbiota is most likely essential in the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease (CD). Fecal diversion after ileocecal resection (ICR) protects against CD recurrence, whereas infusion of fecal content triggers inflammation. After ICR, the majority of patients experience endoscopic recurrence in the neoterminal ileum, and the ileal microbiome is of particular interest. We have assessed the mucosa-associated microbiome in the inflamed and noninflamed ileum in patients with CD. Methods Mucosa-associated microbiome was assessed by 16S rRNA sequencing of biopsies sampled 5 and 15 cm orally of the ileocecal valve or ileocolic anastomosis. Results Fifty-one CD patients and forty healthy controls (HCs) were included in the study. Twenty CD patients had terminal ileitis, with endoscopic inflammation at 5 cm, normal mucosa at 15 cm, and no history of upper CD involvement. Crohn’s disease patients (n = 51) had lower alpha diversity and separated clearly from HC on beta diversity plots. Twenty-three bacterial taxa were differentially represented in CD patients vs HC; among these, Tyzzerella 4 was profoundly overrepresented in CD. The microbiome in the inflamed and proximal noninflamed ileal mucosa did not differ according to alpha diversity or beta diversity. Additionally, no bacterial taxa were differentially represented. Conclusions The microbiome is similar in the inflamed and proximal noninflamed ileal mucosa within the same patients. Our results support the concept of CD-specific microbiota alterations and demonstrate that neither ileal sublocation nor endoscopic inflammation influence the mucosa-associated microbiome.
