The study of disease entities as complex as Crohn's dis ease will
increasingly require comprehensive knowledge of formerly unrelated
areas of the medical sciences. To promote this broad approach, a
conference was organized in which geneticists, morphologists,
immunologists, and virologists participated as well as clinicians
whose work is focused on Crohn's disease. Ample time was given to
the presentation of major new findings in each of these areas, and
comments were given by the participants in the various sections.
This approach yielded many new ideas, because indiv iduals with
very different backgrounds were able to address old problems from
fresh angles. This volume, published in January, 1981, contains the
papers presented dur ing the wor kshop held in June, 1980, in
Noordwijk/Leiden, The Netherlands. In addition, we have in cluded
the extensive discussions, edited by experts in the field, which
followed each presentation. Finally, each main category is followed
by a summary of the topic covered as well as many valuable
conclusions concerning the significance of recent work and ideas
for new directions in research. In the Preface, J.B. Kirsner gives
a comprehensive review of the material, and in an Afterword A.J.Ch.
Haex deals with a num ber of other aspects. We believe that this
volume will be of value to a wide spectrum of scientists and
clinicians and that it will help to establ ish the mul tid
isciplinary approach to Crohn' s dis ease as the one that should
predominate in the future.
