Core Tip |
In inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) there is increasing use of immunosuppressives and the biological agents, which are being used earlier in the course of disease, and for longer durations. This, however, has the potential to increase the risk of opportunistic and serious infections in these patients, most of which are preventable. A balance thus needs to be struck between medication use to control the disease with minimization of the risk of an opportunistic infection. This outcome is achieved by the physician’s tailored use of justified therapies, and the patients’ education and actions to minimize infection risk. The purpose of this review is to explore the evidence and guidelines available to all physicians managing patients with IBD. |
