Endoscopic disease activity indices (DAI) in 17 children and adolescents at entry, after 5 adsorptive granulocyte and monocyte apheresis (GMA) sessions and then one week post final session (or week 12). Solid lines represent patients who responded to GMA without any additional medication, while dotted lines indicate patients received 0.5 to 1.0 mg/kg bodyweight/day prednisolone (PSL) in addition to GMA. All 17 patients had improvement of DAI including 9 with complete remission.
