Abstract Objective: To observe the clinical value of infliximab combined with enteral nutrition (EN) in the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods: A total of 20 patients with moderate to severe UC who showed no response to traditional therapies were selected in this study. These UC patients were treated with intravenous micropump of infliximab at a dose of 5 mg/kg for 6 times, combined EN treatment for 3 months and oral azathioprine for maintenance treatment. Results: After treatment, the body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin (Hb) and serum albumin (ALB) in UC patients were all significantly increased than those before treatment (all P<0.05), while the modified Mayo score, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and white blood cell count (WBC) in UC patients were all lower than those before treatment (all P<0.05). A total of 16 UC patients showed effective response to the treatment, of whom 15 UC patients achieved clinical remission and 12 UC patients achieved mucosal healing. Followed up for 6 to 24 months, 1 UC patient developed malignant lymphoma, 1 UC patient had a relapse after withdrawal of azathioprine, and the remaining patients had good disease control without recurrence. Conclusion: Infliximab combined with EN-induced clinical remission and maintenance therapy with azathioprine could have good clinical efficacy in the treatment of moderate to severe UC, and it also could improve the prognosis of UC patients.
