Abstract
A13 year old boy with Crohn's disease had a prominent expansion (over 40%) of ωδT cell receptor‐positive cells (ωδT cells) in the peripheral blood. The ωδT cells were gradually decreased from 48 to 22% in 18 months. Anti‐ωδT cell receptor‐triggered cytotoxicity was evident at onset and after 1 year. The significance of peripheral expansion of ωδT cells in a patient with Crohn's disease is discussed. 1993 Japan Pediatric Society
