CHRONIC ULCERATIVE COLITIS: DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROBLEMS; A LIFELONG STUDY

CALDWELL LECTURE, 1966

J. ARNOLD BARGEN M.D.1

1 Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota; Senior Consultant in Gastroenterology, Scott and White Clinic; and Director of Medical Education, Scott and White Memorial Hospital and Scott, Sherwood and Brindley Foundation, Temple, Texas

This presentation summarizes my lifelong experience with patients whose colons have been the seats of a rather virulent and damaging disease, chronic ulcerative colitis. The complications and sequelae which may afflict these unfortunate persons have been emphasized, and I have offered hints concerning their diagnosis and management.

The care of each patient with chronic ulcerative colitis requires patience, perseverance, and a well organized therapeutic program from which he is not allowed to stray. The physician must be on the alert for the development of complications, and when they occur he must treat them as secondary problems, while attacking the disease in the colon more vigorously. Then, with close cooperation of the patients, the disease can be controlled in more than 75 per cent of those suffering from this so-called intractable disorder.
