Mycobacteriophage in Crohn's disease

Kevin Parent, I Dodd Wilson
PMCID: PMC1411989  PMID: 5157132

Abstract

Numerous similarities between Crohn's disease and sarcoidosis are being reported. Because of previous findings of culturable mycobacteriophage in the serum of many patients with sarcoidosis, mycobacteriophages were sought in serum of patients with Crohn's disease. No difference was found in the frequency of positive cultures between patients with Crohn's disease and normal control subjects.
