ABSTRACT

La colitis ulcerosa es una inflamación crónica no granulomatosa, que afecta fundamentalmente al colon. Se caracteriza por inflamación y ulceraciones de la mucosa intestinal. La etiopatogenia es compleja y multifactorial. Los síntomas gastrointestinales dependen de la situación, magnitud y severidad de la inflamación. El diagnóstico se basa en la sospecha clínica apoyada por estudios de laboratorio y de gabinete y el tratamiento depende de la severidad del cuadro. Presentamos a un niño que curso con un cuadro de colitis ulcerosa fulminante y que evoluciono favorablemente con el tratamiento instaurado.
