    Author: Najafi M, Zamani MM, Rezaei N, Sabbaghian M.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 2012; 54(6):651-3. PubMed ID: 23692793.
    Abstract:
    Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a form of inflammatory bowel disease, which occasionally can be associated with autoimmune disorders. Herein, a two-year-old male infant with UC under sulfasalazine therapy is presented, who consequently developed type I diabetes mellitus, autoimmune hepatitis and autoimmune hypothyroidism. Although presence of concurrent autoimmune diseases with UC is a rare condition, it could highlight the role of immune-related mechanisms as a pathogenesis of disease.
