The diagnoses of ulcerative colitis have increased in pediatric patients in the last two decades. Whereas there are several reports from most areas of the world, no clinical studies describing the clinical management of pediatric ulcerative colitis are currently available from Central Asia. In this article, we first describe a case series of pediatric patients affected with ulcerative colitis in Kazakhstan. This is a retrospective study including 25 consecutive pediatric patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in a tertiary pediatric hospital. The available demographic, clinical, hematological and inflammatory parameters at diagnosis and at the first one-year follow-up have been provided and analyzed. Most pediatric patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis were older than 12 years, with prevalence of male gender. The analysis of clinical, laboratory, endoscopic parameters at the diagnosis suggested a significant diagnostic delay compared to developed countries; however, most of them showed clinical, laboratory and endoscopic improvements at the one-year follow-up. Even though the therapeutic approach and outcomes resulted to be consistent with other clinical studies from developed countries, several aspects of the medical follow-up should be improved, especially in pediatric patients with extensive disease.
