Résumé
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory condition. Previous reports suggested that UC may have a worse prognosis when associated with auto-immune diseases. We compared characteristics at diagnosis and natural history of the disease between classical ulcerative colitis (CUC) and UC associated with auto-immune diseases (CAI) in children.
