 Immunomodulators, such as azathioprine (AZA) have recently been re-evaluated for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) in Japan. Infliximab has been reported to induce mucosal healing in Crohn's disease (CD), which may have a beneficial effect on the reduction of hospitalization and surgery. AZA had also been recognized as inductive of mucosal healing in CD. However, the significance of AZA on the induction of mucosal healing in UC remains unclear. Here, we analyzed 25 steroid-dependent UC cases treated with AZA and followed them up endoscopically between 2000 and 2007 at Hiroshima University Hospital.

 Our data indicates that AZA leads to mucosal healing which may induce clinical remission. Induction of mucosal healing in UC as well as in CD might be the ultimate endpoint of therapy with AZA.
