  • Title: Glucocorticoids in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.
    Author: Sidoroff M, Kolho KL.
    Journal: Scand J Gastroenterol; 2012 Jul; 47(7):745-50. PubMed ID: 22507033.
    Abstract:
    Children with moderate to severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are treated with systemic glucocorticoids (GCs). The majority of the patients respond to the given treatment; however, steroid resistance and dependency are significant clinical problems. Also therapy-related side effects limit the use of GCs in the control of active inflammation. This review summarizes recent knowledge of GC treatment in pediatric patients with IBD.
