Collagenous colitis with rapid response to sulphasalazine

Abstract

A case of collagenous colitis in a young female with a rapid response to sulphasalazine both symptomatically and histologically is reported. This is only the third such response to be reported. In most published accounts, collagenous colitis fails to respond to treatment and runs a very prolonged course. © The Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine, 1988.
