| Abstract |
|
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease localized on the colon. This disease is rare in children under 10 years of age. We experienced a case of ulcerative colitis in a 3-year- old male child. He was admitted due to fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea for 5 days, followed by rectal bleeding for 2 days. The diagnosis was established by clinical features, endoscopic and histologic findings. Taking combined medication of prednisolone and sulfasalazine, he achieved symptomatic remission and remained asymptomatic. |
