After 3 months of conventional treatment there were no differences in fatigue severity in patients reaching deep remission compared with patients still having active disease. Fatigue was more pronounced in patients in deep remission than in healthy subjects, and was associated with subjective and not objective measures of disease activity. This indicates that other potent factors than inflammation influence fatigue in UC.
