INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE Safety and efficacy of intravenous pulse cyclophosphamide in acute steroid refractory inflammatory bowel disease
Background and aims: One major problem in the management of steroid refractory attacks of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the establishment of a rapidly acting immunosuppressive regimen. Based on its well known efficacy in systemic vasculitis, intravenous cyclophosphamide pulse therapy was used in refractory IBD patients to evaluate both its efficacy and safety. Methods: Betwe...

Biologic therapies such as infliximab and adalimumab have become mainstays of treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. Early studies suggested that combination therapy (CT) with infliximab and an immunomodulator drug such as azathioprine may help optimize biologic pharmacokinetics, minimize immunogenicity, and improve outcomes. The landmark SONIC trial in Crohn's disease and the UC SUCCESS tri...

Very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) has a distinct phenotype and should be considered a specific entity. VEO-IBD presents with very severe clinical pictures and is frequently known by an indeterminate colitis whose clinical remission is unmanageable. This study examines the case of a neonate with VEO-IBD, not responding to medical and surgical treatment. A 7-day-old Iranian fe...
متن کامل[Cyclophosphamide pulse therapy for refractory rheumatic diseases].
We studied the efficacy of cyclophosphamide pulse therapy (CYP) for refractory rheumatic diseases except for lupus nephritis. Thirty-five patients were included in all, that is 9 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 10 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 7 with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM), 2 with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), 2 with anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome ...
