Abstract

A 33-year-old woman presented with a non-specific inflammation of the respiratory passages, which occurred two months after partial colectomy and sigmoidectomy for local stenosis caused by an unclassified inflammatory bowel disease. After other causes of the respiratory symptoms had been ruled out, it was concluded that these were a complication of the bowel disease. Due to the osteoporosis, the patient was given a prolonged treatment with high doses of inhaled corticosteroids instead of systemic corticosteroids. She was treated successfully.
