Could a common antifungal keep Crohn's away after surgery?

This study tested whether the antifungal drug fluconazole could lower levels of certain antibodies (ASCA) and prevent Crohn's disease from returning after bowel surgery. Thirty-five adults with Crohn's disease who had recent ileal or ileocecal resection were randomly assigned to receive fluconazole or a placebo for six months. The goal was to see if targeting a yeast in the gut could reduce inflammation and recurrence.
