Key Points
To examine the effectiveness of budesonide in treating pediatric microscopic colitis and its recurrence rates after treatment.
Reviewed single-center patient experiences with microscopic colitis.
Assessed treatment outcomes using budesonide alone or in combination.
Conducted a systematic review of existing literature regarding pediatric cases.
Budesonide is commonly used for treating pediatric microscopic colitis.
High recurrence rates of symptoms were noted after ending therapy.
Combination therapies showed similar effectiveness as budesonide alone.
Abstract
Budesonide, either alone or in combination, appears to be most commonly used and effective in treating pediatric MC, but recurrence rates remain high after therapy discontinuation.
