Refractory pouchitis therefore does not seem to reflect underlying Crohn's disease, but may be linked to immunological mechanisms that are manifested clinically as extraintestinal complications.

The cause of RP may be linked to the still unelucidated immunological mechanisms in inflammatory bowel disease that are clinically manifested as extraintestinal complications.

The potential of vaccination as a control source was still unresolved, as the immunological mechanisms are very complex and follow-up studies need to be conducted.

These reactions are caused by histamine release, and are not mediated by an immunological mechanism [ 10, 11].

The aetiology remains unknown, but much circumstantial evidence suggests that immunological mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis.

In both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, immunological mechanisms seem to play a role in either perpetuating or increasing the inflammatory response.

We are about to crack the mystery of the immunological mechanisms.

Genetically engineering plants for the production of inulins has also become more prevalent, despite the still limited insight into the immunological mechanisms activated by such food supplementation.

Although this phenomenon has an immunological mechanism it is not necessarily associated with protection against reinfection since the larval challenge often develops to maturity.

Susceptibility to disease varies between individuals and immunological mechanisms have been proposed to confer protection or susceptibility to the disease.
