Crohn’s disease (CD) belongs together with ulcerative colitis to the two major forms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Although its etiology remains poorly understood, several genetic and immune factors and cells (especially T cells) have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of IBD. Among these factors, proinflammatory T cells and their secreted cytokines seem to be the main effectors in induction and perpetuation of the intestinal inflammation. Beside the local inflammatory effect, there is a very clear defined mechanism where T cells and inflammatory complexes migrate and induce extraintestinal manifestation and complications. This article reviews current knowledge of the pathomorphology of mucosal inflammation in CD focusing especially on the immune mechanisms of T-cell homing, extraintestinal manifestations and fibrogenesis.
