Abstract

Lay Summary At present, the conventional therapies for acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) mainly include corticosteroids, cyclosporin, and biological agents. However, the treatment of patients with severe steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis remains a serious challenge to clinicians. This study reports a case of steroid-refractory ASUC treated with cyclosporin combined with tofacitinib after treatment failure with infliximab.
