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.

Fistula: Abnormal communication most commonly seen between two internal organs, or between an internal organ and the surface of the body.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The therapy of inflammatory bowel diseases is based on 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASAs) that are the forefront of treatment of mild-to-moderate active disease and maintenance; steroids are used for the treatment of moderate-to-severe active disease; immunosuppressives and sometimes antibiotics in moderate-to-severe disease; maintenance and for the treatment of selected complications."2.44[Medical therapy of inflammatory bowel diseases: Crohn's disease]. ( Lakatos, L; Lakatos, PL, 2007)
"Crohn's disease is a perplexing disease with a high rate of morbidity and complications."2.35The protean manifestations of Crohn's disease. ( Farmer, RG, 1975)
