Description
Hirotoki Murashige and co-authors describe ultrasound signs of drug intolerance in children with ulcerative colitis in 2026. A standard first drug, called 5-ASA, harms about one in ten patients and mimics a disease flare. Telling intolerance from a true flare is hard, and wrong calls can push treatment too far.
The report follows young patients whose bowel scans were checked when symptoms worsened on the drug. In intolerance cases, the small bowel wall thickened while the colon wall stayed calm. Stopping the drug eased symptoms, and a careful retest brought them back in one boy. The pattern could spare children needless stronger drugs when the medicine itself is the problem.
