[Case report: periodical infliximab administration enabled closure of colostomy in fistulating perianal Crohn's disease].
A 29-year old woman with Crohn's disease was performed colostomy due to severe perianal abscess. Her disease had been easy to recur and she was admitted to hospital for intestinal bleeding caused by acute exacerbation in Crohn's disease on October 2006. The bleeding was stopped rapidly and clinical remission was maintained with bimonthly administration of infliximab. Finally, her colostomy was closed after 5 years 8 months. Periodical treatment of infliximab not only prevented recurrence but also enabled closure of colostomy in fistulating perianal Crohn's disease.
