Role of immunosuppressive and biologic therapy in pediatric IBD
We aimed to evaluate the role of anti-TNF-alpha therapy with infliximab and adalimumab in a cohort of pediatric patients followed by our Center from 2002 to 2012. The cohort of patients examined consisted of 40 patients: 34 with Crohn disease (85%), 5 with ulcerative colitis (12.5%), one with chroni...
