title: [Immunosuppression therapy with cyclosporin in inflammatory bowel disease: preliminary experience].
abstract: Three patients afflicted with inflammatory bowel disease (1 UC, 1 Crohn's disease, 1 non-filiated colitis), who did not respond to the aggressive treatment from Oxford (3) were treated with immunosuppression therapy with cyclosporin. The dosage was 5-7 mg/day, to obtain seric levels (RIA) between 100-125 ng/ml during 3 months. All patients showed complete remission which was maintained for 6 months after the halt in treatment in the cases of the UC and non-filiated colitis. Parameters of cholestasis appeared with a transient increase of transaminase levels in 1 patient. Another patient suffered a pericarditis sicca which may not necessarily be related to the treatment.
