Had perirectal abscess that cleared on iv antibotics. dr said they were going to find crohn's but scopes were clear. could inflamation show on biopies?

Not necessary: Perirectal abcess beging a infection in the anal crypts and spread outward. It's surprising that antibiotic cleared it, it usually need to be surgically drained, it may reoccur w/o drainage
