MAP Template Controlling Crohn’s Disease?

Abstract Crohn’s disease is stated to be an immune-mediated disease initiated by a zoonotic mycobacterium, Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infection within a period of host immunological vulnerability and induce by the widespread prevalence of that organism in the human food chain. For over two decades, steroids and biologics have, move often than not, been able to induce temporary remissions, but not cures. This thesis examines how the only two, very divergent, therapeutic approaches that have produce cures achieved this positive outcome.
