Core Tip

Core Tip: Inflammatory bowel disease-like colitis is associated with a few rare genetic disorders or certain drug use. First-line treatment is usually conservative with nutritional support or steroids. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor or immunosuppressant may be beneficial. Surgical intervention like hemicolectomy is mainly reserved for refractory cases with intestinal obstruction resistant to medical treatment.
