azathioprine and Cutaneous Fistula

azathioprine has been researched along with Cutaneous Fistula in 5 studies

Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.

Cutaneous Fistula: An abnormal passage or communication leading from an internal organ to the surface of the body.

"The rise of fistulae in Crohn's disease has been classed with the disorder complications, although it is a possible component of natural development of the so-called A type (De Dombal classification) or aggressive-perforating type (Greenstein's classification) of this idiopathic intestinal inflammation."1.31Immunosuppressive treatment of Crohn's disease with fistulae.
