Study finds anti-TNF drugs reduce anal fistula risk by 82% in kids with Crohn's disease.
A new study in the journal Gut shows that anti-TNF drugs can significantly reduce anal fistula risk in children with Crohn's disease.
These drugs, like infliximab and adalimumab, block inflammation-causing substances and can lower the risk of anal fistulas by 82%.
Fistulas, which can lead to infections and require surgeries, are common in about one in three children with Crohn's.
Though anti-TNF drugs are pricier than other anti-inflammatory treatments, they may be worth the cost to prevent severe complications.
Parents should discuss these options with their child's doctor.
