摘要

Abstract: Paediatric Crohn’s disease (CD) affects 5 in 100,000 children in the US and Europe and can result in growth retardationand delayed sexual development. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment is critical, with the goal being maintenanceof symptomatic remission and a change in disease course. Conventional treatment relies on aminosalicylate maintenancetherapy with corticosteroids to control acute exacerbations and immunomodulators for steroid-resistant or frequentlyrelapsing disease. Infliximab has demonstrated efficacy in moderately to severely active paediatric CD, with88.4% patients in clinical response and 58.9% in clinical remission at week 10. Significant improvements in quality oflife, height, reduction in corticosteroid use and mucosal healing were observed with infliximab. Traditional ‘step-up’treatment strategy may be suboptimal because relapse and steroid dependency/resistance rates remain high. A ‘top down’approach using biologic therapy earlier may suppress intestinal inflammation and promote prolonged and stable remission,but safety issues need to be considered.
