Chronic diarrhea can have a substantial impact on the patient’s quality of life and overall health. Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory bowel disease, which is characterized by chronic watery diarrhea. Many drugs, including steroids, had emerged to treat MC. Our aim was testing the efficacy of Budesonide enema in improvement of patients with collagenous microscopic colitis both clinically and histo-pathologiclly. 22 patients with active microscopic colitis were enrolled in the present study, 15 women, and 7 men, with mean age of 60.9±8.5 years. Mean duration of symptoms was 2.6±0.8 years. Patients were given Budesonide enema 2mg/100ml twice daily for 2 weeks then, once daily for 4 weeks. They were evaluated both clinically and histopathologically after 6 weeks.18 patients (81.8%) showed high statistically significant decrease in the thickness of collage layer, and degree of inflammation. The patients’ frequency of stool decreased from 7.6±1.0 to 2.7±1.6 motions/day (p<0.001), and also consistency of stool improved (p<0.001).We concluded that Budesonide enema in a dose of 2 mg/100ml was well tolerated and effective in induction of remission in active collagenous colitis. Effects on both clinical symptoms and inflammatory infiltrate were seen. Recurrence rate after stopping treatment is moderate. Non-responders may need prolonged duration of treatment or omitting the drugs that may be responsible for colonic inflammation.
