Abstract
5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds occasionally exacerbate diarrh oea in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. This is thought to be due to a secretory mechanism in most cases. A patient with presumed i ntolerance to sulphasalazine and 5-ASA preparations who developed endo scopic and histological evidence of disease relapse after a rectal cha llenge with mesalazine is reported.
