Correlations between clinical, blood leukocyte, and skin test data in the National Cooperative Crohn's Disease Study.
Peripheral blood leukocyte counts, percentages of lymphocytes and granulocytes, serum albumin levels, and results of skin tests with five antigens were examined in patients randomized in the National Cooperative Crohn's Disease Study. Inspection for differences from normal and correlations with a variety of variables showed no unusual characteristics except for a high incidence of anergy (31%) at randomization, and ranging up to 47.5% after treatment.
