Abstract

Serum lysozyme (muramidase) concentrations were determined in five patients with Morbus Crohn before and after resection of inflammated bowel areas. The serum lysozyme activity which was elevated before surgical treatment in all patients fell to normal values after bowel resection within a few hours. Our findings suggest, that the elevated serum lysozyme reflects an increased lysozyme production in the inflammated bowel tissue.
