A member asked:
Almost died from mononucleosis very young. could that have caused me to be more likely to develop crohn's disease in my family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mono & Crohn's: Although the two diseases share a simllar lymphoid hyperplasia, there is not much in the medical literature that links these together. Certainly there is no causative link that has been proven at this point.
