Case report of infliximab treatment in ulcerative colitis

Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon neutrophilic dermatosis that is highly associated with pathergy in the setting of trauma or surgery, systemic disease, or may be idiopathic. Herein, we present the case of a 68-year-old female with ulcerative colitis who underwent a subtotal colectomy with an end-ileostomy and presented post-operatively with large, multifocal pyoderma gangrenosum at two abdominal sites. She was managed with intralesional triamcinolone injections and high-dose systemic steroids and was transitioned to IV infliximab. Our case report illustrates the role of infliximab in the treatment of complicated multifocal pyoderma gangrenosum and contemplates the impact of systemic infliximab exposure.

Inflammatory Bowel

Inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis (UC) may be complicated by several extraintestinal manifestations. These involve joints, skin, eyes and less commonly lungs and heart. Myocarditis may result from the toxic effect of drugs (ie, mesalazine) commonly used for the treatment of UC or due to infections (eg, Coxsackieviruses, enteroviruses, adenovirus). Here, we report a case of a 26-year old man affected by UC and complicated by two episodes of myocarditis. Both episodes occurred during two severe exacerbations of UC. However, in both cases the aetiology of myocarditis remains uncertain being ascribable to extraintestinal manifestation, drug toxicity or both.
