Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology , 09/04/09

Hou JK et al. – A 24–year–old woman, 14 weeks pregnant with her first child, is referred by her obstetrician for management of her CD. She has a 5–year history of ileocolonic CD, diagnosed by colonoscopy. She was initially treated with mesalamine, antibiotics, and prednisone. She was intolerant of azathioprine (AZA) as a result of a rash and was initiated on infliximab induction therapy followed by 5 mg/kg every 8 weeks 2 years ago. She has been in remission since then with 1–2 bowel movements per day, no pain, and no blood in her stool.
