Improvement in Crohn's disease after drug therapy was evaluated in 38 patients with evidence of rectal disease at sigmoidoscopy in whom the rectum later appeared normal. Rectal biopsies taken before and after therapy were examined histopathologically. Cell counts of the lamina propria connective tissue cells were used to evaluate mucosal changes. The drugs apparently responsible for conversion of the rectal mocosal appearance to normal were sulfasalazine, prednisone, and 6-mercaptopurine.
