Abstract

Pulmonary involvement is a well documented, however relatively uncommon extra-intestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis. A variety of respiratory disorders have been described including pulmonary vasculitis and apical fibrosis. Bronchial involvement, both in the form of a large airway chronic suppurative bronchitis and bronchiectasis, and small airway changes similar to those seen in smokers have been noted in UC . We are reporting this case report which is a rare presentation of UC with airway involvement
