Prevalence of Cytomegalovirus, Epstein Barr Virus and Human Herpes 6 Virus in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Completed

Conditions studied: Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis

In brief

An increase prevalence of CMV, EBV and or HHV-6 in diseased tissue of inflammatory bowel disease would suggest a role for these viruses in the etiology and/or exacerbation of IBD, whereas their absence would preclude such association.
