AT least 29 patients with Crohn’s disease were seen in hospitals in Dublin in the latter half of the last century. This retrospective study is additional epidemiological evidence that Crohn’s disease was present but unrecognised prior to this century and not as has been suggested a ‘new’ disease of this century.
