✦ Synopsis

Since 1966 we treated 22 patients with ulcerative colitis, 15 of which with severe diseases were selected for immunosuppressive therapy according to strictly defined criteria. Difficulties were observed in 2 eases. In 13 cases immunosuppressive therapy promptly resulted in clinical and reetoseopic remissions. Roentgenologic findings of colon were normalized in 2 cases, improved in 3 cases and not yet controlled in the other eases. Side effects were noted in 2 patients, they included cholestatic jaundice and vomiting. Alopeeia and decreased linear growth were not observed.

In summary our experience with the immunosuppressive therapy of childhood ulcerative colitis so far has been encouraging.
