Abstract

A 15-year-old girl presented with bloody diarrhea for 2 months duration. Ulcerative colitis was

diagnosed with clinical and laboratory findings. Because high dose intravenous corticosteroids

and cyclosporin treatments were failed, she underwent coledomy. Therefore children with severe

fulminant colitis who do not respond to medical therapy, colectomy should be considered

immediately.

Keywords: Ulcerative colitis, child, therapy, fulminant colitis.
