Title: Development and Validation of a New Algorithm Model for Differential Diagnosis
Between Crohn's Disease and Intestinal Tuberculosis: A Combination of Laboratory, Imaging
and Endoscopic Characteristics
Version: 1 Date: 22 Mar 2021
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting article which aim is to demonstrate the construction of a simple and novel
algorithm that could be useful in clinical practice about the differential diagnosis between CD
and ITB, mainly in developing countries where there are a great incidence and prevalence of
ITB  and also a growing prevalence of CD However, I have some suggestions :
1- Revision of table 6 it will be necessary to demonstrate the significance of the employed
abbreviatures
2- Revision of some English errors as visualized in table 2 / table 3:  “not all patients had these
results”
3-  A better definition of the exclusion parameter: the result of T-SPOT or endoscopic characters
or CTE/MRE was not complete,
