title: [20 years of ulcerative colitis treatment. Retrospective study from the point of view of a medical clinic].
abstract: In the examined number of patients the ulcerous colitis played only a secondary role concerning the frequency. A decrease in the last five years could be explained by an improved ambulatory care. This clinical picture is, however, important on account of the inclination to recidivations and the acute complications. Of 93 patients 64 were coordinated to the degree of severity I, 16 to the degree of severity II and 13 to the degree of severity III. Particularly in patients who died of ulcerous colitis the clinical and paraclinical findings were not always parallel to the morphological changes. As a rule the treatment was performed by diet and azulfidines, only in 5 cases the application of prednisolone was necessary, 4 patients were operated. 11 patients died. Using the balanced enteral and parenteral nutrition, more severe stages of a disease will be better influenced and more favourable preoperative situations, respectively, will be reached also in older patients.
