Abstract

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.
