Infliximab monotherapy for ulcerative colitis-related severe enteritis following colectomy in a paediatric patient.

We report the rare entity of ulcerative colitis-related severe enteritis (UCRSE) following colectomy in a child. This entity has been described primarily in adults and is characterised by diffuse enteritis with histology identical to ulcerative colitis (UC). The mainstay treatment is steroids and in recent years anti-tumour necrosis factor agents.

Impact of ulcerative colitis on liver-related outcomes of children with primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Aim: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic progressive cholestatic disorder associated with ulcerative colitis (UC). Although the inflammatory bowel disease phenotype has been characterised in patients with PSC, the impact of UC on the course and progression of PSC-UC is less clear. We aimed to evaluate the effects of UC on liver-related outcomes in children with PSC.
