A colitis ulcerosa kezelését meghatározó legfontosabb tényezők a betegség kiterjedése és súlyossága. Az enyhe és középsúlyos betegek nagy többsége ma is a hagyományos gyógyszereket kapja (orális-topicalis 5-ASA, sulfasalazin). A hagyományos terápiára (szteroid, azathioprin, 5-ASA) rezisztens és a súlyos, akut colitis ulcerosa kezelése ugyanakkor nincs megoldva. Az újabb adatok alapján az infliximab indukciós vagy fenntartó kezelés formájában mindkét betegcsoportban hatékony kezelési alternatívát jelenthet, így az esetek egy részében elkerülhetővé válik a colectomia. Az összefoglalóban a szerzők colitis ulcerosában az anti-TNF-α-kezeléssel kapcsolatos eredményeket foglalták össze.
