^*All newly infected people were diagnosed by CAA only.

Representative pre-post gastrointestinal mucosal findings in three individuals are shown in Figure 3. These individuals demonstrated examples of mucosal changes that occurred in those with improvement, worsening, or no change in the severity of mucosal abnormalities.
