Cystic fibrosis and Crohn’s disease:Successful treatment and long term remission with infliximab

摘要

The association of cystic fibrosis and Crohn's disease (CD) is well known, but to date, there are very few cas-es in the literature of patients suffering from mucovisci-dosis who have required treatment with infliximab. We report the case of a 23-year-old patient suffering from cystic fibrosis and severe CD treated successfully with infliximab without any infective complications or wors-ening of the pulmonary disease and with a long term (2 years) complete remission.
