Case report
Late-onset tacrolimus-induced colitis associated with delayed mucosal healing: a case report

Abstract

Tacrolimus is a calcineurin inhibitor rarely associated with gastrointestinal injury and reported only a handful of times in the literature. We present a case report demonstrating late-onset colitis in a patient taking tacrolimus for years, with typical histological features, associated with delayed mucosal healing. We hope this highlights the potential variability in both presentation and resolution in cases of tacrolimus-induced colitis.
