Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic condition requiring long-term treatment with immunosuppressive medications. There is concern regarding the risks of drug-related toxicity particularly the risk of infections and the risk of malignancy. Pregnancy requires a particular consideration due to the implications from the exposure to the fetus and elderly patients may be at a higher risk of toxicity that merits special precautions.
