چکیده

Ulcerative colitis is a disease of unknown aetiology characterized by friability of the colonic mucosa leading to ulceration. The clinical course is extremely varied, but is usually characterized by remissions and relapses. The initial attack carries the highest mortality rate. Medical treatment aims at supporting the patient over an attack until remission occurs. The use of cortisone or ACTH for this purpose is indicated in suitable cases. Ileostomy and colectomy is indicated for the severe toxic attack which appears likely to be fatal, and for chronic invalidism in the long-standing case.
