Higher induction and maintenance infliximab trough levels are associated with radiological perianal fistula healing in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease

BackgroundLiterature on the association between high infliximab (IFX) trough levels and perianal fistula response in pediatric patients with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (PFCD) is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the association between IFX trough levels and radiological perianal f...
