Summary
Colectomy is a treatment option in ulcerative colitis (UC) management in patients with severe UC or pharmacotherapy failure. We present a case of a young patient with severe and corticosteroid dependent UC that was going to be treated with colectomy. However, before deciding to perform the surgery, we successfully used treatment with infliximab, although it was not commonly used in this indication at that time.
Key words:
ulcerative colitis – steroid-dependency – infliximab – colectomy – childhood
The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.
The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE „uniform requirements“ for biomedical papers.
