Abstract
In a double-blind study comprising 33 patients (24 males and 9 females) the effects of sulfasalazine enema (3%) in acute left-sided ulcerative colitis was tested. The success rate of 73.6% is comparable with the results achieved with the oral treatment. The rate of side effects however was markedly reduced (no side effects occurred in our patients). Compared to the SASP-therapy with suppositories, the enema had the advantage of being applicable to more proximal parts of the colon.
