Article Synopsis
- Ulcerative colitis (UC) can sometimes lead to issues outside the intestines, such as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition where platelet levels drop.
- A 51-year-old man with severe UC and ITP did not respond to standard treatments, but treatment with biologic drugs like ustekinumab and adalimumab helped him achieve remission in both conditions.
- This case highlights how effective biologics can be in treating difficult UC cases accompanied by ITP, suggesting they might help avoid the need for surgery.
