title: Argentaffin cells in ulcerative colitis.
abstract: The number of argentaffin cells have been counted in the epithelium of rectal biopsies taken from a series of patients with ulcerative colitis and a control group. The number of argentaffin cells was decreased in ulcerative colitis, but this decrease was not related either to the severity of the inflammation or to the duration of illness.
