AbstractUlcerative colitis is a nonspecific inflammatory disease of large intestine. Its inflammation is limited to intestinal mucosa. The most essential symptom is hematochezia, bloody stool and intestinal bleeding. Differential diagnosis among diseases having intestinal bleeding is clinically important. These diseases include Crohn disease, ischemic colitis, intestinal Behçet disease, Enterohemorrhagic E. coli including O157, antibiotics associated hemorrhagic colitis and so on. Drugs for the treatment of ulcerative colitis are sulphapyridine, 5-aminosalicylic acid, prednisolone, betamethasone and immunosuppressive drugs. Recently, leukocytapheresis and massive immunoglobulin 7S treatment are available for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.
