- W2019185053 abstract "The natural history of Crohn disease is characterized by recurrent bouts of active disease, the consequences of which can severely impair sufferers' physical and social functioning. Not only does the illness cause day-to-day morbidity for children but the consequence of the chronic inflammatory process also commonly results in the need for major intestinal surgery. The present challenge facing physicians treating children with Crohn disease is to alleviate symptoms and prolong periods of remission via the use of specifically targeted therapies while minimizing toxicity and promoting normal growth and development. Although systemic corticosteroids are effective in inducing clinical remission, they are of little or no benefit in maintaining remission and can contribute to linear growth retardation. Immunomodulating drugs such as azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine and methotrexate have proved effective for inducing and maintaining remission of active Crohn disease. These agents are now commonly prescribed in children at diagnosis, after a severe attack or after surgery or in those who become corticosteroid-dependent or corticosteroid-resistant. Their use is not without potential adverse effects and not all patients respond well to these agents. With the introduction of biologic agents, notably the tumor necrosis factor-alpha monoclonal antibody infliximab, progress has been made in targeting specific pathogenetic mechanisms of Crohn disease and potentially altering the underlying disease process. Published experience in children is currently limited, but infliximab has been shown to improve symptoms and achieve corticosteroid independence in this age group. Unresolved issues with infliximab and other emerging biologic agents, including long-term safety, necessitate a degree of caution in selecting appropriate patients for treatment and with careful monitoring of their effects. The collection of contemporary natural history data is crucial to facilitate the better integration of current and emerging therapies in an attempt to alter the natural history of Crohn disease in children." @default.
