The aim of the study was evaluate:

1.    the exponents of proxidiantive mechanisms in the course of inflammatory bowel disease,

2.    if taking the nonhomogenous etiology of some diseases, into consideration there are any differences in their activity,

3.    if the application of treatment leading to clinical remission is connected with the changes of the examined mechanisms. The study was performed in a group of 35 children aged 8-17 with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which divided into three subgroups:

I. With ulcerative colitis

II. Crohn' disease

III. Nonspecific colitis

The obtained results were compared with 15 children's control group. The diagnosis was made on the basis of care history, clinical evaluation of morphological picture in colonoscopy and/or rectoscopy connected with histological evaluation of colon mucosa.

The level of malonyldialdehyde in blood was marked acc. to Okhawa's method, the level of hydrogen peroxide- by means of Frew's method before, 3 and 6 month after treatment. The increase of prooxidantive processes was stated, particularly in the group of IBD children. The applied treatment decreased but not normalized the exponents of prooxidantive processes in children with IBD.
