Abstract
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis belong to inflammatory bowel diseases. Children are a specific group of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, due to the increased risk of severe diseases, and its long-term course. Inflammatory changes in this disease are nonspecific and include the entire wall of the intestine. They can occur in any section of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. The most common location is the ileocecal valve.The glicocorticosteroids, immunomodulator drugs (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurin, metotrexat), masalamine belong to standard used medicaments in Crohn’s disease.
