Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic autoimmune conditions of the gut affecting both pediatric and adult patients. Medical therapy is often successful at inducing and maintaining remission and preventing disease complications. The mainstays of treatment are medications and other therapies that reduce inflammation and suppress the overactive immune system. Here we review current medical therapies for pediatric IBD, discuss future therapeutics, and present current treatment goals and approaches. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
