Four patients aged 30-34 years with Crohn's disease in and advanced stage, having lasted 2 or 3 years, were treated by several injections of 10mg lyophilized cell wall material of P. granulosum strain KP-45 locally into the lesion. In all 4 cases a preceding conventional therapy with Salazopyrine and Prednisone or surgery had been unsuccessful. This local immunomodulatory treatment led to decisive improvement of the disease in all 4 cases, in 3 cases inflammatory symptoms disappeared completely. For this reason a local immunomodulation with P. granulosum KP-45 is recommended as an additional therapeutic procedure in patients who are otherwise resistant to therapy.

D003424 Crohn Disease A chronic transmural inflammation that may involve any part of the DIGESTIVE TRACT from MOUTH to ANUS, mostly found in the ILEUM, the CECUM, and the COLON. In Crohn disease, the inflammation, extending through the intestinal wall from the MUCOSA to the serosa, is characteristically asymmetric and segmental. Epithelioid GRANULOMAS may be seen in some patients.
