Crohn's disease in two married couples

J M Rhodes et al. Gut. 1985 Oct.

Abstract

Only two examples of married couples where both partners have developed Crohn's disease have been reported previously from the United Kingdom. We describe two further examples; one where the index patient had developed Crohn's disease before marriage, and the spouse subsequently developed Crohn's disease and a second example in which both spouses developed Crohn's disease after marriage.
