| Abstract: | A case control study of 140 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (83 with Crohn's disease) born in or after 1968, and 280 controls. The findings provide no support for the hypothesis that measles vaccination in childhood predisposes to the later development of inflammatory bowel disease (and of Crohn's disease in particular). |
