摘要
There is considerable uncertainty regarding the safety and efficacy of biological therapies during pregnancy. We report a case of a 46-year-old female, diagnosed with ulcerative colitis over 30 years ago, who was successfully managed with infliximab and ustekinumab. She experienced no exacerbation of her condition during two pregnancies, demonstrating the safety of biologic therapy in maintaining disease remission during pregnancy. This case report highlights successful outcomes despite the uncertainties associated with biologic therapy during pregnancy and includes a brief review of the relevant literature.
