title: [Treatment of Crohn's disease].
abstract: In this chapter, the state-of-the-art treatment of Crohn's disease is summarized; the chapter intends to provide an uptodate knowledge of current treatment strategies of Crohn's disease. The indications for steroids and for immunomodulators are described and compared to newer approaches based on neutralizing tumor necrosis factor by specific antibodies (Infliximab). An attempt was made to clearly differentiate between evidence-based treatment schemes and those which are not supported by good evidence. The chapter was written for daily practice; the proposed treatment algorithms should support the physician in his daily work.
