Hello Differentiating between crohn's and tuberculosis can be difficult especially in area where tuberculosis is common. In case it is difficult to differentiate between the two a reasonable alternative would be to give a therapeutic trial of anti tubercular treatment. however Before doing this i would need to review all your previous reports. Hope this helps
