Excerpt

Interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) contribute to the development of ulcerative colitis (UC) and concentrations of these interleukins in serum and colonic mucosa are increased in children with UC [2, 3]. Nevertheless, except for one study on stool interleukin detection in adult UC patients [7], there are few data on stool IL-1β and IL-1ra concentrations and IL-1ra/IL-1β ratios in children with UC. We report the results of our study on measurement of IL-1β and IL-1ra concentrations in stools of children with active UC and during recovery and assessment of their correlations with UC activity. …
