- Abstract
- The ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology. The major
symptoms of ulcerative colitis are diarrhea, hematochezia, tenesmus, and abdominal pain. However,
occasionally the arthritis, skin disorders, hepatobiliary inflammation, and uveitis are recognized systemic
complications or extracolonic manifestations of ulcerative colitis. Though there have been rare reports of
coexistent pulmonary and inflammatory bowel disease, the lung is not generally considered a target organ
in ulcerative colitis. Since the first observation of pulmonary involvement in ulcerative colitis by Kraft in
1976, a few cases have been reported. We describe of a patient with ulcerative colitis and extracolonic
manifestations in whom pulmonary involvement developed that was responsive to corticosteroid
therapy.(Korean J Med 70:324-329, 2006)
