Abstract:

Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis (ASUC) complicated by Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) is extremely rare. The disease progresses rapidly and may be life-threatening. Biological agents are essential to Ulcerative Colitis (UC) treatment, nevertheless, the combination of Infliximab (IFX) and Ustekinumab (UST) for ASUC treatment has been rarely reported. We report a case of ASUC complicated by DIC that was successfully treated with a multidisciplinary approach, including two biological agents. To the best of our knowledge, this case was the first reported case of UST combined with IFX for the treatment of ASUC complicated by DIC in China.
