Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the erythema is increased congestion of supplying blood vessels as in this case that of terminal ileum. There can be various reasons for the presence of erythema and it is not the conclusive sign of inflammatory bowel disease only. However, a biopsy report will be able to describe more details of the issue in relevant manner.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
